Bringing the community together to create a great place to live, work and play
There’s never a dull moment here. We have some brilliant community centres and some fantastic parks and green spaces. There is always something going on.
We listen to each other, discover what we can do to make the community stronger and decide how to spend money together.
We have some amazing local and community-minded businesses. From pubs to plumbers, and beauty to bakeries. Explore all the area has to offer.
Springfield, Beech Hill and Gidlow CommUnity is a community association that covers the ward of Wigan West.
We're made up of the people who live here; local groups and associations and community minded businesses and local organisations.
We work together to make Springfield, Beech Hill and Gidlow the best it can be, now, and, in the future.
We do this by connecting people, having fun together and making the best use of parks, spaces and buildings.
