ROMSEY Residents Event will return to full operation this weekend, showcasing the town’s businesses and organisations through stalls, food and live entertainment.
After a COVID-19 hiatus, Romsey Neighbourhood House is attempting to put Romsey on the map with stalls from a range of groups, clubs and organisations featuring kids activities and a show bag containing vouchers and takeaways.
Romsey Neighbourhood House manager Michele Balthazar said the free event attracted a great response from community organisations looking to raise awareness, fundraise or recruit new members.
“I think so many of these groups do such a fabulous job, and it’s great to really give them a platform,” she said.
Ms Balthazar said Romsey Neighbourhood House seized the opportunity to create connections with Romsey residents and help prevent isolation.
She added the neighbourhood house was also celebrating achieving 100 volunteers, which she said demonstrated the community centre’s motivation to build relationships through programs.
“We’re really proud … volunteers are integral in terms of making things happen in the community,” she said.
The event is at Romsey Neighbourhood House, 96 Main Street, from 11am to 3pm this Sunday, April 30.
