Community Groups in Marple
Community Group Pages
The Community Group Pages are special pages produced in support of local clubs, non-profit making organisations and charities who wish to be part of the Marple Website Community. Way back in 1998 this was originally aimed at organisations who didn't have the means to create their own web site. Times have changed greatly since then and even if your group does have its own web site, Facebook page, or uses another Social Media platform, you may still benefit greatly from becoming part of this community to raise your profile and help people find you. It should even improve your web site's rankings in the search engines.
Get in touch if you would like to feature your group's activities here.
This is a free service with no charges and is open to local clubs, non-profit making organisations and charities in Marple and District only.
The community group that saved Marple's Lime Kilns
Following the Canal & River Trust’s “Revealing Oldknow’s Legacy” project, funded largely by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Friends of Oldknow’s Lime Kilns (FOLK) was formed with the aim of working with the council and Historic England to protect and stabilise the structures, while at the same time further enhancing the ‘pocket park’ that lies at the foot of the kilns.

We believe that station staff should be retained, that trains should continue to have a second member of staff on board, and that safety and access should be optimised for all passengers, especially women, younger people and anyone with disabilities.
