Brides and Grooms
Residents brought in their wedding wardrobes including some beautiful dresses. Photos of their weddings stimulated discussion. One couple was actually celebrating their golden wedding during the event which made it extra special.
Covid Happiness Bags
In April 2020, Happiness Bags were created and delivered to people throughout Greatfield. Approximately 20 adults' and children's activity bags were delivered per week.
People were delighted to receive these as they gave them something to do, but more importantly, allowed a little social interaction in those isolating times. Talking to people during the deliveries revealed that there were families with children with additional needs leading to further action to help them. The visits also identified that residents in Falcon and Stockwell Roads were not accessing necessary services.
Issuing the bags also fostered good relationships with GBL. Many said they thought the church was providing them so it was a marketing opportunity to showcase the community centres.
