Lincombe Barn’s, 40th Anniversary year:
Celebrations have started with our launch event and an evening entitled a "Musical Journey". We are holding an Arts and Craft Exhibition on Saturday April 17th from 10am - 4pm and Sunday April 18th from 10am - 12 noon. This will enable members to show the excellent work that is being done in a number of our clubs and classes. We would welcome visitors to these events who are not Barn members.
Your local Safer Stronger Community Group needs you!
South Gloucestershire's 20 Safer Stronger Community Groups are all about working together to improve your local community. The groups also enable you to have your say about the services that your community needs and receives.
-
These groups have been set up as part of the South Gloucestershire Council's Community Engagement initiative and the Neighbourhood Policing Model. Their members include people who live and work in the area and representatives from South Gloucestershire Council, the local police, Avon Fire & Rescue, Primary Care Trust, the Town & Parish Council and other local organisations. The aim is to:
work together to ensure that local communities are safe and pleasant places to live, work and play -
give local people a greater voice and influence over local decisions and the priorities of the service providers
-
support actions and initiatives that meet local needs
