A Community Engagement and Fun Day at Deeplish Community Centre was enjoyed by participants from local community and around Rochdale, including children, young people and families, on Saturday (22 July).

The fun day provided activities for children and families with face and Henna painting, whilst young children enjoyed a bouncy castle.

Information stalls, and recycling information was also on display, and parents were given information about forthcoming Summer Playscheme activities.

There were young people completing National Citizen Service through organisation called ‘Challenge’ who were finding out community member’s views about their local community centre. They also filmed and recorded interviews from local community users, including councillors and community leaders.

“It also gives young children a chance to have fun whilst staying safe.
