Organising Community Events

Why hold a community event?

Organising a community event can seem very daunting for small groups and the process can sometimes appear complex. However, community events are worth doing and a successful event can be very satisfying for the organisers and for the people attending.

There are many reasons why your group might want to hold a community event, for example:

For fun and friendship in your local community
For publicity for your project
To celebrate the work of your group
To attract new members to your group
To increase the use of your green space
To try and involve hard to reach members of the community
To co-ordinate a work day/make a visual impact on the area
To help your project gain some momentum
To provide publicity to attract funders

Whatever your reason for holding an event, such activities are very important in developing community awareness and community events are essential for the long-term future of your project – so get organising!
