SI Fishguard Programme Action Pre Lockdown
Just before corona virus ‘hit’ and pre lockdown, we managed to complete two PA challenges.
Having raised funds at our Charter Lunch, last year, this Spring we had pledged a further £1000 for our local Fishguard Young Farmers Club, to help them rebuild their meeting hall. The YF club does a lot of voluntary support work in the community. We were able to give a further £1000 this year, £2000 in total. On a wet and windy day, members of our club met with representatives of the Young Farmers to hand over the donation. Even wet and blustery weather didn’t dampen their enthusiasm
In spite of a few delays, we were eventually able to realise a partnership ambition to recognise the large number of families from other countries living in our area around Fishguard and Goodwick. It turned out there are around 70 different nationalities!
Working with Community owned Theatre Gwaun this was to have been for International Womens’ Day but was delayed by several weeks to fit in with an evening partnership event the theatre had been organising.
Working with the local community liaison officer, we were able to invite a number of families to come to a celebratory tea, at the theatre, followed by a fashion show featuring the reuse and recycling of various materials, not all fabric! . Everyone agreed it was a great event and should be repeated … lock-down and recent virus concerns have pushed this now into the future.
