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, Fairtrade, Transition Dover, Waste Community Engagement, Dover Big Local and others.
hari yang disokong oleh Ward Grant Majlis Perbandaran dari Tower Hamlets Majlis Pam Brivio dan Tui Sancha. Pam dan Tui kedua-duanya terdapat di siang hari pendengaran kepada orang-orang tempatan dan belajar lebih lanjut mengenai perkara-perkara yang berkenaan mereka.
Pam mengulas selepas itu –
"Ia adalah baik untuk melihat rakyat semua peringkat umur datang bersama-sama Menara dusun Forum CED yang dihadiri; banyak komen positif termasuk "benar-benar baik, banyak organisasi dan aktiviti kanak-kanak; anak-anak suka lelaki pepijat, masa indah, felt dialu-alukan "

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.”
