More about our impact
The local economy
Many local businesses have passed opinion that trade increased with the lights being there. The Liberal Club who hosted our Christmas lights walk and the Christmas Fayre have said it was a fantastic boos for their trade. Other local businesses have pledged their support moving forward with our future projects.
Arts, culture & heritage
The lights certainly bought people together, We have received comments on our Facebook page that people actually enjoyed travelling through the area on their way to work. Generally mental and physical spirits were lifted by the lights.
Activity, health and leisure
We held an organised walk where the community could come along and join us as we walked the route of the lights, on every lamp post was a QR code with a link to our website where we promoted local groups such as dance classes, keep fit. football clubs, Guides and bowls clubs. The Christmas Fayre was held on the Liberal Club and was a great success. In addition many people walked the routes in their own time.
