Pembroke Town Team put on two festivals a year, that engage the whole community and beyond with free or very reasonably priced events throughout the town. Businesses have reported back to us that the events helped to improve footfall throughout the town, Participants in workshops were delighted to be well fed and make new friends. Using Churches and Schools as venues has helped them raise much needed funds. Community groups that joined us were really pleased to lots of positive exposure.
There is absolutely no reason why Pembroke can't be as successful as Tenby, Narberth or Newport if we can keep this momentum going.
In this financial climate though not everyone is able to do things for free, artists have to be paid, some activities also, and we have running costs such as insurance and the website to keep everyone connected with what's going on. In order to make these events get bigger and better each year, we need your help and support.
If everyone in the community were able to set up a direct debit of just £5 a month we could achieve so much more and it would make us very attractive for match funding from larger organisations.
