The Lambourn Junction Community Interest Company oversees a number of community projects in and around Lambourn. If you are interested in assisting with any of the projects or have an idea for a new project please contact us. All projects have to adhere to the Guiding Principles of the company. We have a short guide which sets out what happens when we adopt a new project.
Lambourn Junction Food Bank
The food Junction is a food bank, providing groceries and essentials for residents of Lambourn and the Lambourn valley who, for whatever reason, are unable to afford basic food and toiletries. The Lambourn Food Junction is a great success and serves over 60 families in need on a weekly basis.
The Lambourn Youth Junction
The Lambourn Youth Junction is a very successful youth club serving the young generation of Lambourn. Over 50 members attend the weekly sessions which are crammed full of fun activities.
The Lambourn Lunch Club
The Lambourn Lunch Club provides a safe, warm place to meet and have a free meal for those who are struggling with the cost of living. It is there to provide social contact, a warm meal in an environment where no-one judges or comments. It is just “A Warm Welcome”. The Lunch Club also delivers hot meals to individuals in the community who cannot physically attend.
Lambourn Community Bus
The Lambourn Community Bus, which has been serving the community for many years, is a project operated since September 2023 under the auspices of the Lambourn Junction Community Interest Company. The bus takes takes shoppers from the Valley of the Racehorse to the Wantage market every Wednesday. Special excursions are also organised including trips to the seaside, shopping trips and trips to Christmas markets.
The Lambourn Community Website
The website is a repository of historic information, pictures as well as news articles, a business directory and a diary of activities taking place in Lambourn. Objective is to encourage a sense of pride in the village and surrounding area by providing a repository of relevant information.
Lambourn Valley Litter Picking
Residents of Lambourn have come together under the auspices of the Lambourn Junction Community Interest company to hold regular litter picking sessions. It not only clears the village of litter but also builds a great community spirit.
The Lambourn Volunteers
The Lambourn volunteers are a group of over 60 residents who are prepared to give up their time to help others in the community. The volunteers undertake a number of tasks including delivering prescriptions and shopping for residents who are unable to leave their homes. Find out more HERE
The Lambourn Environmental Group
The objective of the Lambourn Environmental Group is to increase the biodiversity in the village of Lambourn and surrounding countryside. The group has a number of initiatives which involve the community to combine bio diversification with awareness, education and creating a sense of pride in the local environment in the local population.
Lambourn Parish Council Website
We collaborate with the Lambourn Parish Council to set up and maintain the council’s website. Using this approach the Council has full control of their website whilst the costs are absolutely minimal. Keep it Local! A big thank you to 100%IT, based in Newbury, for providing hosting services. This means more funds can be used for the benefit of the community. https://lambourn-pc.gov.uk
