Every month we publish a virtual noticeboard packed with activities, events, clubs, and community groups taking place in Lawley and the surrounding areas.
It’s a great way to discover what’s happening locally, find new opportunities to get involved, and stay connected with your community.
If you would like to include an activity, event, or community group in a future edition, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact Lin Powell, BVT Lawley Community and Development Officer, by email at [email protected] or pop into the Lawley Community Hub during opening hours.
We work in partnership with a wide range of groups and organisations that provide support, activities, and opportunities for local residents. Many of these networks are volunteer-led, creating great opportunities to meet others, share interests, and get involved in your community.
Here are a few of the groups and networks available in Lawley:
Green Group
If you’re passionate about the environment and all things green, why not join the Green Group? This friendly network of like-minded residents works together to create greener village spaces, encourage wildlife and gardening projects, and support environmental initiatives across the community.
Lawley Arts and Crafts Group
The Lawley Arts and Crafts Group brings together talented local artists and crafters to share their work, ideas, and creative skills. We’re delighted to showcase many of their creations at the Lawley Community Hub, so why not pop in and take a look?
If you’re an artist or crafter and would like to get involved, please email [email protected] with details and examples of your work.
Telford Bereavement Group
The Telford Bereavement Group offers a safe and supportive space for people who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Alongside monthly meet-ups, the group also provides one-to-one support, a WhatsApp chat group, and other opportunities to connect with others who understand what you’re going through.
Details of the above are available in the virtual noticeboard and if you’re interested in setting up a new group contact us on [email protected]

We’re delighted to work in partnership with Lawley and Overdale Parish Council to support and deliver a variety of community events throughout the year.
One of the highlights of the calendar is the annual Summer Fest — a fantastic family fun day held each July, bringing the community together for entertainment, activities, and a great day out for all ages.
We also support the popular Lawley 5K Fun Run in September, which attracts runners, joggers, and walkers from across the local area to take part in this enjoyable community event.
Throughout the year, there are also plenty of activities for children during the school holidays, alongside other family-friendly events and opportunities to get involved in community life.
Details of upcoming events and activities are regularly shared on our website, social media channels, and virtual noticeboard, so be sure to check back often to see what’s coming up next.
If you’re looking to give something back to your community, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.
