Summary

Description

We would like to host a community galaday which has had to be cancelled for the past 2 years due to the pandemic and would like to coincide this with The Queens Julilee celebrations on Saturday the 4th June. We, as the association would normally try to subsidise as much as possible for the galaday so it is very much a community event that anyone can attend. We would like to do this again and make it a free event as much as possible, for everyone attending. We would also like to show off the refurbishments that have been made to the community centre at this event and hope to get ideas from the community as to what they would like to see in the community centre.  

As well as this we would like to support and include other local groups to be involved and promote what is available for the community locally, whether in the community centre or not. We want this to be as inclusive an event as possible with activities for children and families as well as our older population. We would like to have a tea room, utilising the new kitchen, games both indoors and out, fairground rides, entertainment provided by local groups eg dance group and showcasing what activities are available in the centre.

We will be showcasing what is already on in the community centre, also asking the community what they would like to see on in the centre. We would then look to add popular activities to our timetable where possible. We would like to promote the benefits of the various activities and groups in the centre. We hope to have representatives from the groups attending to be able to talk about and demonstrate what their groups do. We want to hear from the community after 2 long years of mostly being closed. Needs have changed for a lot of people and we want to reestablish relationships with the local community and this event will support this.

The event will have various and mixed activities for all ages to get involved, both inside the community centre and utilising the outside space. We want to showcase what groups and activities are already taking place within the centre and hope to have representatives to do this. We have always included different groups and organisations in our galaday eg the school PTA, Rainbows, Scouts, RNLI etc and will do this again. We want to hear from the local community about what they would like to see on at the centre, whether that is regular groups/events or one off activities. We want to get a wide range of views and will use what we have learned through the support we provided during covid and using local businesses to help with this as well.
