Another week into the year and our BID team have been busy supporting local businesses and tidying up pathways across town, helping make our streets cleaner, safer, and more welcoming for everyone. It’s been a cold start to the year, but that hasn’t slowed Chris and Ricky down. 💙 This week they came across one of the most surprising finds yet, you won’t believe the photo above… and honestly, we didn’t believe it at first either! A hidden “goldmine” of litter tucked away near the old Wilko site. Alongside that, they collected 11 bags of litter and supported local businesses including Dunelm and B&Q with clean-ups. 🫣 We’re excited to keep the momentum going and crack on with more projects as the year moves forward. As always, if there’s an area you think needs some attention, let us know, and thank you for all your continued support. It really means a lot. 💙 #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #family #love #events #litter #cleaning #local #support #town #community

It’s been a cold and icy start to the year, but our outreach team have still been out and about supporting local businesses and the local community. This week we’ve been working alongside businesses like Co-op Funeral Care and KDYT, helping with de-weeding, litter picking, cleaning business frontages and giving a bit of extra support where it’s needed. ❄️ The weather hasn’t slowed us down (even if it’s made us a bit chilly 😅) and we’re carrying on with our efforts to make the town cleaner, safer and more welcoming for everyone. We’ve got some exciting plans coming up this year and we can’t wait to share them with you. Thank you for all the support, it really does mean a lot. 💙 #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #love #support #community #events #town #local #cleaning #litter

What a year. Honestly, when we stop and look back, there’s been a lot going on across Kidderminster. From new businesses opening all over town to fresh ideas popping up in leisure, retail and hospitality, it’s been great to see the place buzzing and changing throughout the year. 🌟 For us, the real highlight has been YOU. The support at our events this year has been unreal whether you came along to Love Kidderminster Fundays, the Canal & Food Fest, Music Fest or the Christmas Light Switch On, you turned up, got involved and made them what they were. Way better than we ever expected. And judging by the messages and ideas you keep sending us, you’re already thinking ahead too, so yes, planning for 2026 is already underway. 😉 We’ve worked with some brilliant partners this year, welcomed new faces to the BID team, and been backed by an amazing local community and businesses. We genuinely couldn’t do this without you. Next year’s already shaping up nicely (with a few surprises we can’t share just yet), and we can’t wait to show you what’s coming. 💙 Thank you. #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #local #support #community #family #fun #events #town #love
