We will be running x2 Community events in Norris Green, Liverpool. We plan to deliver a safe Firework and Bonfire Display in 2020 following safety that will help improve community cohesion, At the Norris Green Carnival which our Charity has successfully ran for 8 years we provide 12 stalls for local organisations: Schools, Housing Associations, Debt Advice, Dance Groups, Face painting, Charities. Skateboard sessions, bouncy castles and Carousel Rides. This event benefits many low income families who live locally who are unable to pay for transport and the cost of taking their children to a Carnival. The Bonfire & Firework Display has been managed by our Charity for 7 or more years. We work with Liverpool City Council, Police and Fire Service to provide a safe, family friendly display that is free entry. Free entry at a local green space with security, toilets onsite and tuck shop managed by a local Tenant Group.
What we'll deliver:
- Deliver a bonfire and firework display FREE entry
- Hire sound equipment and Carnival stage with local singers, dance groups and more
- Carnival tickets for FREE candy floss, slushie, popcorn for children at Carnival
- Local groups able get a stall to promote their own community minded activities
- Marquee cover for stall holders at Carnival
- On Site Stewards and First Aiders helping with emergencies and crowd control
Why it's a great idea:
These events will be held on green spaces that are usually affected by anti-social behavior (ASB). The events will see more families and communities using the green spaces and reduce ASB. Information sharing of local services and groups, charities and associations. Increase the profile for the Ward and improve tourism to the area as people from across the city visit.
Steps to get it done:
- Saftey Advisory Group Meeting with LCC and partners prior to event
- List of partners agreed to take part in Carnival and Bonfire/ Firework display
- Stewards, First Aiders confirmed
- Carnival Marquees, stage and audio equipment hired.
If you are interested in taking part in the Carnival or having a stall please get in touch.

Offer somethingAbout the Project Creator
Norris Green Community Alliance is a community group run by local people to help bring the community of Norris Green together. We are always looking for new people to get involved in community activities and share their ideas and experiences with us.
We are invested in making sure the community and local peoples voices are heard and isseus addressed. We work towards improving the livelihood of those living in the ward through offering community led and minded activities, training, volunteer opportunities and being a first point of conact for information and good practices.
We created this project to bring the community together is a safe manner durig times when anti-social behaviour may be higher or more prominent in the ward on greenspaces and when low income families and individuals may become more isolated. The project brings commuity groups togther for the benfit of the community.
During the Carnival community organisations come together at a free entry event and promote what services and support is available locally including goups that can be joined to help community cohesion and collaboration. There are also rides and games avaiable for free with a complementary free drink/ popcorn- it has been very beneficial over the years we have run the event to showcase small community groups, inform community members and help low income famlies access events that would otherwise be unaccessible due to financial hardship.
The Bonfire and Firework Display has been managed by our charity for the last 7+ years and helps prevent dangerous bonfire and fireworks being used on a greenspace that has been the site of anti-social behaviour in the past. It is a safe, organised event that goes through Liverpool City Council and Safety Advisory Group approval that is free to attend. Local groups, LCC approved businesses and organisers get together and ensure a fantastic, happy and safe display is organised for free community attendance.
The reason we ask for backers and funding help for these events is for every year we have maanged this commuity project, funding has been harder and harder to secure. These events have been so beenficial to the ward and we want to make sure they continue to be so whenever possible. Without the project it is likely there will be an increase in: social isolation, individual debt, housing rent arrears, illegal bonfires, anti-social behaviour and a drop in confidence in the community particularly on Bonfire night.
