Our Aims

Alvechurch Village Society (AVS) aims to enrich life for residents and visitors, by preserving and enhancing the beauty and character of Alvechurch and its surrounding villages in North Worcestershire.

The Society organises ...

• Evening talks in Alvechurch Village Hall. Recent speakers have included broadcaster Joanne Malin and local landscape gardener and presenter of UKTV's Heaven's Garden, Hannah Genders.
• Guided family-friendly walks along our attractive and varied Parish footpaths. In 2008 AVS members led a Parish boundary walk, reviving the old tradition of Beating the Bounds.
• Environmental improvements including litter picks and in the last 2 years, planting thousands of daffodil bulbs in the village. Volunteer AVS groups maintain 27 miles of Parish footpaths. In May 2010 a bench in memory of former Path Warden, Paul Newby, was installed on Newbourne Hill ....look on the AVS FaceBook page for photos and more details.

... and its 290+ members campaign actively to protect the Green Belt, monitor planning developments, reduce traffic speeds and make the village cleaner.
