It was busy from the get-go – the Tower Hamlets Forum Community Engagement Day at The Ark was full of local families finding out more about their local communities and meeting their neighbours. Children had loads to keep them occupied and having fun. The Bug Man was there with his creepy-crawlies (not for the easily scared!), the face painting team never stopped and the White Cliffs Countryside Partnership and Kent Wildlife Trust had lots of information and activities about our wonderful local natural environment.
The day brought together Councils, other statutory bodies and local voluntary groups. Help and information was on hand on a huge range of issues from organisations including Dover Community Wardens, Fire and Rescue, the NHS, Lifeline, निष्पक्ष व्यापार, Transition Dover, Waste Community Engagement, Dover Big Local and others.
दिन टावर हेमलेट्स पार्षदों पाम Brivio और टुइ Sancha से एक नगर परिषद वार्ड अनुदान द्वारा समर्थित किया गया. पाम और टुइ दोनों थे वहाँ स्थानीय लोगों के लिए दिन सुनने के दौरान और चीजें हैं जो उन्हें चिंतित बारे में अधिक जानने.

And Tui agreed saying –
“I had a wonderful day meeting lots of different people, I feel more engaged and have a better understanding of the Tower Hamlets community. I also ate cake and got to sit in a Fire Engine, a good all-round fun family day.”
