Saturday 16 May
We're hosting a family festival to support people experiencing homelessness and poverty in our community. It's a day built to be fun for families, but at its heart, it's about something so much bigger.
Every ticket sold is the equivalent of a nutritious hot meal for someone in need. It's a small thing that makes a real, immediate difference.
It's also a genuinely fun day out! We're only asking £1 per token and each activity costs just one token! Whether it's a turn on the bouncy castle, a go at hook-a-duck, the bucking sheep(!), the coconut shy, adopt-a-teddy and more, it's easy and affordable to bring the whole family along
We've even got something for the crafters among you, young and old. We will have a kids craft table where they can have a go for free, or design and create your very own bag to take home for just £2. We know budgets are tight, so we've made sure there are plenty of affordable, fun options for kids of all ages.
You'll also be able to pick up mosaic kits to take home and get creative. Designed by our social enterprise men's group, some of the team will be there on the day sharing their work and giving live demos - a great chance to see the craft up close and get inspired.
Leamington RFC will be hosting the bar while live DJ Kirsty Leahy keeps the music going all day, perfect for soaking up the atmosphere and having a dance
We'll also be sharing something very special. Our women's group have created a powerful exhibition, "Carrying More than You Know" — a collection of artwork and letters to their past and future selves. It's honest, emotional, and the first of its kind for us. We couldn't be prouder of what they've created
We've had amazing support from local businesses who've donated some brilliant raffle prizes HATTON & HARDING LIMITED @OscarsFrench Bistro @TheWarwickshireGolfandCC @Warwickcastle @WarwickSports Chesford Grange Hotel Leamington RFC Groupe Clarins and @1MillStreet for being the central hub for providing and collecting for us.
Leamington RFC have been so kind to let us use their venue, and we've had practical support and funding from Sunbelt Rentals UK & Ireland @CoralColour1 and Ward & Rider Solicitors.
And not forgetting the wonderful Aubrey Allen who will be providing the food on the day, and @Emi'slittlebakery - providing the sweet treats with her homemade ice cream. A real show of community backing community.
Now we just need people to come along
If you can make it, you'll be helping in a very direct way — and of course, we'd love to see you there!
