Community spirit blooms in Limavady
A fantastic number of people braved the rainy weather to enjoy a Sing, Sow & Gather community engagement day, funded by the Housing Executive in Limavady.
A community cohesion fund of £2686 helped to host this intergenerational project facilitated by The Glens Community Association through their DRIVE Programme.
Young and old were brought together through music, art, and gardening, culminating in a vibrant community garden party.
Caroline Murray, DRIVE Project Officer said, "Thank you very much to the Housing Executive who kindly funded our successful project.
“Highlights on the day included performances from the DRIVE Project’s community choir, an art exhibition, face painting, balloon modelling, and a BBQ from Scotty — all creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.
“The garden was open to all, with many attendees entering into the community spirit by picking plenty of apples together just in time for Autumn.”
Tina McCloskey, Project Coordinator, The Glens Community Association said: “Thank you so much to everyone who came along to our event. We had a fantastic turn out.”
Gareth Doran, Housing Executive Good Relations Officer, Causeway said, “The garden party was a great community event.
“Many attended this special day including Housing Executive tenants and everyone helped to improve community spirits in Limavady.”
