COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

We wanted to create a buzz about the start of the project so decided to hold a community event.  It is very important to us to gather people ideas and concerns so we decided to hold the event twice once on a Saturday and once after school on a weekday so everyone could have a chance of being able to come along.

The event was made up of a number of activity tables that people could visit and join in with in no particular order.  This was a great opportunity to collect peoples ideas, stories and get the word out about our project.  The activities that people took part in were –
