Bridgnorth community spirit
Speak to most people of Bridgnorth and I’m sure ‘community spirit’ is something of importance. I’m sure most people would like to see it increase, not decrease over the next 10 years. Here at thebestof Bridgnorth we hope to play our part in helping great independent small businesses compete over the next decade.

Want to do something about it? The good news is you already are – you are on this site!
We want Bridgnorth to keep its character, independence and community spirit. We are not alone, established in the summer of 1976 (the summer of Punk) was The Bridgnorth Lions Club. Local people - helping local people (and needy people outside our area). They meet on the second Tuesday of each month at The Down Inn, why not join them?
"To create and foster a spirit of understanding among people for humanitarian needs by providing voluntary services through community involvement and international co-operation"
