Community event supported by Action Acton Action Acton awarded an LSIS-IfL Research Development Fellowship Grant Action Acton has been awarded an LSIS-IfL Research Development Fellowship grant designed to enable organisations to carry out action research projects in order to improve an aspect of professional practice. Action Acton wins 'Excellence in Community Enterprise' Award The DTA has awarded the first Chris Woodcock 'Excellence in Community Enterprise' Award this year to Action Acton's Acton Town Centre Market Regeneration Project. The award has been created in memory of Chris Woodcock, former Chair of the DTA from 2002 to 2004. His work both nationally, as Chair for the DTA, and locally, with Moss Side and Hulme Community Development Trust, High Peak CVS and many other local organisations, was an inspiration to us all and changed many lives. Chris sadly passed away earlier this year and to commemorate his amazing achievements in the field of community enterprise the DTA will be awarding one organisation each year with the ‘Excellence in Community Enterprise’ Award in recognition of an outstanding community enterprise project.
For 2009 the award focused on projects that demonstrate best practice around engaging with diverse communities. This year's panel was made up of Sylvia Greene, Chris Woodcock's widow; George Nicholson, Special Advisor to the DTA and former DTA chair; and Gurdev Gahele, Special Advisor to the DTA. They chose Action Acton's Acton Town Centre Market Regeneration Project as the award winners. The panel agreed that "This was a really great example of a project that engages with diverse communities, is creative and inspiring in approach, transcends boundaries, improves appreciation between different groups and has had a positive impact on individuals." Action Acton received £5,000 and a certificate of achievement which was presented by Amy Woodcock, Chris Woodcock's daughter, and Gurdev Gahele, at the DTA’s national conference.

The Sunday Market will continue to open until Sunday December 21st, after which there will no longer be a market on Sundays. January is always a tough time for retail businesses and with winter weather, shoppers seem to refer to hibernate on Sundays, rather than shop. All your favourite stalls from Sunday should be available on Thursdays, including quite a few more, so come and have a look on Thursday 20th November.
