We Are Redditch - Community Festival - Sunday 27 Sept, 12 noon - 6pm

In the old market square (behind Debenhams)

The festival is an opportunity for the many diverse communities in Redditch to come together and celebrate our cultures and all that`s good about our town. The festival will not only engender pride within the community, but also offer support to local organisations/groups and help to raise awareness in the wider community of these organisations/groups.

Over 40 groups and sections of the community will be represented, either by a stall, performance, display etc. Here`s a small selection to demonstrate the diverse nature of this event:

Age Concern Redditch

Caribbean Roots Connections

Friends of the Earth

Homestart

Indian Association

Kingfisher FM Radio Station

Pagan Association

Pakistani Forum

Polish Community

Rainbow Redditch (new LGBT group)

Redditch & Bromsgrove Campaign for Real Ale.

Redditch Chinese Association

Redditch Freecycle

Redditch Vegetarian & Vegan Society

Romani Roots

Talking drums

YMCA youth group

and many, many more...

This is the first time such an event has been staged in Redditch, but if it`s a success, the plan is to make this an annual event.

The festival has been organised by representatives of many of the above groups under the banner of the Redditch Community Forum. For further details see  http://redditchcommunityforum.webs.com/weareredditch.htm or email  communityforum@live.co.uk
