Welcome
Welcome to the community pages.
This section of the website is dedicated to community activity. In addition to local groups and events, we have included links to Shirenewton Community Council website and relevant parts of the Monmouthshire County Council website for your convenience.
The most useful source of information about the community, events and societies (as Scouts, Clubs, Brownies, Cubs, Play groups, etc.), is the Parish Magazine. This site only publishes historical copies (download here) so we strongly recommend that you subscribe to get free delivery of current copies (10 per year).
AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators)
In 2017 there was a community initiative to provide AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) throughout the village. Funding was provided by, inter alia, the British Heart Foundation. Since 2017, Phil Moles (of the Hunstman) and one or two other community minded residents have been maintaining these AEDS at their own personal expense. Recently, Phil personally spent ~£800 to ensure that several AEDs had a firmware upgrade, 'in date' pads and new batteries.
If you'd like to assist financially, please send your donation via BACS to: Account: Shirefest Community Account; Barclays Bank; sort code: 20-60-58; account number: 73056198 with a reference of 'AED Donation'. All donations will be recorded and 'ring fenced' for AED maintance. Annual financial reports will be published.
Please check back for more AED information which will be added in the next week or so.
