Our aim is to make this year’s Take Part, Take Pride a
truly diverse summer festival. Council partners and services, community groups, businesses and residents are invited to take part by setting up an activity or event which gives others the chance to get involved. Take Part, Take Pride is a perfect opportunity to show off what you do and to raise awareness of the importance of your work and campaigns. We hope that all areas of the borough’s community will take part, providing a festival of activity throughout the week that highlights excellence, inspires people to try new things and provides fun and interesting ways to encourage community engagement, thereby supporting our achievement of the Local Area Agreement. Take Part, Take Pride will host a new citizen’s conference on 11/12 July and there will also be spaces available at a community marketplace in Sutton town centre. Whatever you want to organise, whether it is a multi-cultural food event, a clean-up of an open space, a tea party for children and elder people or an art event, we want to help you to make it a success. The Take Part, Take Pride team at the Civic Offices will be: • providing publicity and marketing for the event overall, including a printed programme of activities • giving advice to people wanting to get involved • putting organisations and groups in touch to share activities • creating a marketplace for services and companies to promote their activities • leading a community conference and activities encouraging public engagement We especially want groups and people to consider: • Taking the lead on setting up a major event which other organisations can join • Using Take Part, Take Pride to promote campaigns and strategic activities • Using the event to come together with other partners, companies and organisations in order to fulfil strategic plans The deadline for inclusion in the printed programme is Monday 4 May, so please get in touch before then.
