Great Shearwater Community Day – Engendering all that is Good in our Local Communities.

On September 2^nd Suzanne and I were delighted to have been invited to the Great Sheerwater Community Day at the Parkview Community Centre where we were welcomed by Martin Vodden from Foodwise and Charlotte Miller from Intergenerational Music-Making who were co-hosting the day with Woking Borough Council and Freedom Leisure.

There was an abundance of activity with Freedom Leisure leading a number of outdoor pursuits on the Rec, with both a police car and fire engine to explore in the car park. Inside there were creative arts, local performers, reptile encounters and musical entertainment for younger visitors whilst there were a host community and charitable support stands there outlining the vital work they undertake in the community. These included Men’s Pit Stop, AndysManClub, Women’s Grow and Glow,  Canalside Community Fridge, Action for Carers Surrey, Luminus, Linkable, Surrey Police, Woking and Spelthorne social prescribing teams.

It was also great to see the Shopwise facility in the old nursery building, run by Foodwise.

It was a very inspiring day, engendering all that is good in our local communities.
