Below are the proposed plans but why not help finalise them! If you are interested please email eileenfielding@dudleycvs.org.uk

The event is likely to run 11 – 3 pm

˜ Volunteering Champion event where we say thanks to outgoing Mayor and welcome new Mayor to the role will be approx. The new and outgoing Mayor will tour all the stalls in the marketplace in main hall at DY1

˜ Marketplace in main hall at DY1 will hopefully be filled with young people’s groups, mostly uniformed groups eg brownies, guides, scouts, ATC, Air cadets etc, as the event is also aimed at connecting them up and hopefully building some partnerships + opportunity for them to recruit volunteers. Would also like to invite other young people’s groups, so they can all connect.

˜ Dudley CVS presence to talk about support we can offer groups

˜ Coincides with Great Get Together in memory of Jo Cox – national event – aiming at bringing people together to socialise and connect [which is why it’s 17^th June]

˜ Hoping to have bouncy castle, bunting and gazebos with voluntary/community groups on grassed area outside DY1 and also on car park at back [which will be closed for maximum space] where there will hopefully be some activities eg dribbling football around cones or similar

˜ Craft corner in small office off café

˜ Coffee and tea counter with cake, biscuits etc

˜ Cake competition

˜ Black Country Radio roadshow set up outside the front

˜ Road at front of DY1 blocked off with temporary barriers to make is safer for pedestrians

˜ Fire personnel + engine [need to have clear exit in event of receiving a shout] so they will pull on road at front of DY1
