Fun Day success at Westcroft

Last week we hosted our annual Community Fun Day. Now in its fourth year, the day has grown from a small yearly meet up, into a jam-packed day of games, sports and fun for the whole family!

Held on the green space next to Westcroft, the day included a number of exciting activities to enjoy; there was a bouncy castle, a nerf-gun target range and a cue ball crazy tournament, all of which helped to encourage some friendly competition and get everyone active. For those looking to get arty, a crafts stall and wood carving bench were up and running, and proved to be really popular throughout the day.

We also had a wonderful face painter, Hannah from Fantastic Faces, whose amazing art added an extra splash of colour to every smile.

We were so pleased to see so many families from our community come along to join in the fun. Not only was the day a great opportunity to meet the neighbours, but it was also a chance for residents to get to know Westcroft and Southway staff a bit better too. Members of the Environment, Community Involvement, Neighbourhood Services and Advice Teams were present throughout the day, both to support the event and offer advice.

Community Development Officer, Matthew, said

It was a fantastic day! Now in its 4th year, our Community Fun Day is getting bigger and better all the time. We had really good attendance and fantastic feedback. We’ve just opened for Quid's In at Westcroft and all the conversation is about what a great day it was. Thanks to everyone who helped out and everyone who came along!

A big thank you to the Southway Housing  and Westcroft volunteers who gave their time and efforts to ensuring the Fun Day ran smoothly and successfully. We are delighted by the day’s success and know it has put us in great stead for our next community events!
