Chopwell Regeneration Group was formed in May 2017 to improve the appearance and facilities in our village and bring the vacant shops in the main street back into use. We organise fund raising events, as well as litter picking, gardening, allotment and orchard events. In 2019 we became a registered Charity and are currently working to take over the ex Lloyds Bank building in the village and convert it into Community Space downstairs and offices/ art studios/ craft workshops upstairs. We hold an annual 'Makers Market' on the middle weekend of June to showcase work by local art and craft makers and invite contributors from across the Gateshead area to get in touch.
