Welcome Telford and Wrekin is a borough where community spirit, ambition, and care for one another shape everything we do. As your Council, we are committed to protecting what matters most, supporting our residents to live well, and investing in a brighter, greener future for everyone. This edition of Totally Telford is full of inspiring stories and practical support. From building new sustainable homes and helping residents cut energy bills, to expanding our Live Well Hubs and making it easier for people to access health and social care, we’re working hard to ensure everyone can live independently and thrive. We’re proud to champion opportunities for children and young people, whether it’s through our 10 by 10 initiative, Bikeability lessons, or the Re-wheeled scheme giving more children the chance to cycle. Our schools, clubs, and volunteers are helping the next generation grow up healthy, confident, and connected to nature. Regeneration is at the heart of our plans, with major investment in Telford Theatre and the wider Theatre Quarter, creating new jobs, cultural opportunities, and a vibrant town centre. Our green spaces remain a source of pride, with local nature reserves, walking trails, and community events bringing people together all year round.
We’re also supporting residents to live healthier lives, with expanded stop smoking
services, free digital skills sessions, and a strong focus on wellbeing. Our Community Calendar celebrates the causes that matter to you, and our support for the Lingen Davies Sunflower Appeal will help bring vital cancer care closer to home. Everything we do is about making Telford and Wrekin a place where everyone can belong, contribute, and flourish. I hope you enjoy this edition of Totally Telford and feel inspired by the opportunities, support, and community spirit that make our Borough such a special place to call home, especially as we build on the success of last year’s inaugural Telford Day, celebrating all that makes our community unique.
