Spotlight on community groups

A wide range of community organisations are getting ready to come together under one roof to showcase their work at this year’s North Walsham Big Bash.

The free biennial event will take place at North Walsham Community Centre on Saturday April 18 (1.30pm to 4pm).

It is organised by the North Walsham Community Network and spokesperson Paul Robinson said: “Residents of all ages will be invited to discover what’s going on in the town, meet the people running local groups and organisations and explore the activities they provide. It will be a friendly, fun event, accessible and of interest to all.
“There will be information about leisure and sports, arts and crafts, music and theatre, health and wellbeing, as well as sources of practical help and care.
“There will be numerous volunteering opportunities, of all type – indoors, outdoors; helping people, helping the environment; inspiring young people, sharing your experience, knowledge and skills to help build our community.”

The power of AI to increase the capacity and efficiency of individuals and groups will be demonstrated, along with the chance to sign up for some free training. Refreshments, a tombola and other opportunities to win prizes will also be available. Before the public arrive at 1.30pm, stand-holders will have the chance to chat with each other over lunch.
