Story
The Bridgers are a very active and diverse community group that work on Environmental, Pastoral, Social and Educational issues that affect all residents and visitors to our beautiful village. The group was formed over the winter of 1998 / 1999 and encompasses all of the other groups within the village of Howe Bridge. We promote and celebrate all aspects of our fantastic history and heritage, we also display the village in the North West In Bloom competition and have been very successful in that and also in the Green Flag project.

I love to look at the pony sculpture when I'm driving to work & I was sad to see it had been vandalised. I hope my small donation will help a bit.
