Every summer, young people organise a street party and community dinner for local residents. A stage is erected in the play area and tables and chairs set out in the street. Young people host the event on stage, provide entertainment, serve the food, organise decorations and tidy up and provide all the stewarding. This event takes place around the Warren outdoor play area and is aimed at improving relations between young people and residents who live close-by.
Why they need our serviceThe event is attended by hundreds and is very popular with local residents and businesses. It's been happening since 1999. Feedback gained from previous events has shown the importance of such initiatives in bringing the community together and helping people to get to know each other better. Through events like these, residents see young people in a more positive light.
