Fintry and beyond Winter celebration

We plan to bring the whole community together for a special Christmas celebration. We have a strong track record of organising successful community events and have delivered similar celebrations on several occasions. Subject to funding, our aim is to make the entire event completely free for everyone, as we have done in previous years. We recognise that the North East is an area where many families face financial pressures, particularly during the winter months, and we want to make a positive difference by providing an opportunity for the whole community to come together and enjoy Christmas without financial barriers. Throughout December, we plan to bring the area to life with Christmas lights, banners, a Christmas tree and festive lighting. This will lead up to a main celebration featuring free food, rides, disco music, balloons and entertainment from local community groups. We will also invite local groups and individuals to showcase their talents through dancing, performances and demonstrations. Our previous event attracted more than 500 people, with all activities provided completely free of charge. We received extremely positive feedback, with the event described to us as one of the best Christmas community events in the North East. We want to build on that success and continue creating the same sense of community, positivity and togetherness, particularly at a time of year when many people can face increased financial and social pressures. Our ambition is to make this year's event even more memorable and, if successful, establish it as an annual community celebration for many years to come. Ultimately, we want to give the people of the North East something they can look forward to each Christmas and create a lasting positive legacy for the local community.
