Report written by Gill (She/her)
it's been a busy time for community meals and we were asked to support at another Christmas celebration for older folk, this time at Futures House in Marsh Farm. four of us were on hand to help make the event go to plan. The first task was to decorate the hall and get it looking festive. our red GoodGym shirts adding to the festive feel, and of course a couple of Santa hats completed the look. Then it was all hands on deck to plate and serve the three course meal. Having eaten dinners ourselves there was then an opportunity to throw some shapes in the dance floor and burn off some of those calories before starting on the mammoth clean up task. But as always Vera and Ian and all the guests were really appreciative of our efforts and it was nice to be rewarded with some Christmas goodies too.
Marsh Farm Futures, is a local community registered charity based in Futures House. We have office spaces where local businesses and entrepreneurs are based, community halls where local community organisations and faith groups regularly use the halls for their regular activities including dance and aerobic groups, maths and sports associations, to name a few. In addition, we have a soft play and climbing wall centre as well as a cafe. The annual fireworks event regularly attracts 4,000 people and this year's event will also host a fun fair and food vendors.
