HOW DO WE KEEP THE PARTY GOING ONCE THE MUSIC'S STOPPED?

Neighbourhoods NW Policy Forum

Last year the country went crazy for cupcakes, bunting and flags to celebrate the royal wedding.

This year we've got even more reasons to celebrate with the Jubilee and the Olympics. By the time this event takes place I'm sure everyone will have a defined role to organise your street events - some will be picking out quick and easy street food reciepes others are ensuring that the road closure runs smoothly and the risk assessements are in place.

But who is looking to the future?

Join us at this event and together we will explore your stories, experiences and ideas to build upon the community events energy and commitment from the volunteers to create long term, sustaining change for your neighbourhoods.

Guest Speakers:

Alison Cullen is from Warrington Voluntary Action, who have taken a lead on volunteer management over the past few years with Cabinet Office funding as well as through the delivery of their Excellence In Voluteer Management Programme.

During this event together we will:

• Explore the key elements that make sure community events are both community owned and sustainable.
• Identify tools and techniques that effectively engage local people in organising events and encouraging long term volunteering.
• Discover how we can promote a legacy from such high levels of engagement and participation.
