As volunteers go, you can’t get much better than Barry, always happy to help no matter what the task and his big smile proved a welcome tonic on many occasions.

He has now managed to find paid employment in a field he enjoys and has already given so much too, so we wish him all the luck in the world!

We held an opening event on Thursday 6th so to see the developments and recognise the great work that has been undertaken. In addition it gave us the opportunity to remember Peter Herson whose family kindly donated some money towards to new gate.

The sun sparkled as 10 teams from drug and alcohol services as well as service user groups kicked off the day literally. Two groups of 5 teams battled it out on the pitch and

eventually a winner from each group were able to contest the semi finals. A big thank you goes to all who helped out especially the referees who did a sterling job .

The final was well contested however Park House proved worthy winners and were able to receive the esteemed trophy!

We had an activity-packed launch weekend, themed to Christmas on Friday, Parties on Saturday and Leisure on the Sunday – providing a taste of what the Centre and Cafe will be offering. Hundreds of people came to sample the food, see Santa, buy from our stalls, try out dance and exercise classes, play bingo and take afternoon tea. Our chef’s cakes are a must!

Look out for a packed programme of activities in the New Year.

Hope to see you soon…

Nearly 100 individuals engaged with the team and numerous pubs and clubs were visited with the team delivering the message of ‘Chillax’ and be safe!

The group was made up of a true partnership including Charlotte and three young volunteers from Moo Moo Youth marketing, staff from the Bridge and Welcome and of course our very own volunteer and project manager Barry!

A big thank you goes out to all those involved and I’m sure this event will pave the way forward for further SIAS events within the town centre.

Please see attachments for some photos of the event.
