COLNE IN BLOOM

Registered charity 1193203 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register · also known as THE BLOOMERS

We are a group of volunteers called Colne in Bloom. Our aim is to keep our town looking alive with floral displays throughout the town. We plant towers, barrier troughs and hanging baskets through the main road of Colne and generally keep everywhere tidy. We raise money by fundraising namely tombola stalls. We get local primary schools involved in the gardening side of our volunteering work.
