Community Fun Days

For several years, together with other churches in Aston and Nechells, we have staged a number of community festivals each year. They are usually held at one of the local schools. We regularly attract between 500 and 1000 people at each one. They are really special occasions, with people from a wide range of cultures coming together and enjoying a great day together. A key principle for us is that these events are FREE, and we are grateful for the grants we have obtained which enable us to make this important contribution to community cohesion.

In 2009, we staged fun days at:

• Deykin Avenue School in Witton in May (see some of the pictures)
• Manor Park School in Aston in June
• St Matthew’s School in Nechells in July

In 2010, community fun days are planned for:

• Monday 3rd May, in the Witton area;
• Saturday 3rd July, at St Matthew’s school in Nechells.

In addition the churches will be part of the Aston Family Festival, which will probably be held in June.
