BEWDLEY residents are invited to a Community Showcase event to learn about all the community groups and organisations in the town.

The free event, which has been organised by Bewdley Town Council, will take place at St George’s Hall on Saturday, April 8, between 10am and 3pm.

The event aims to inform residents and visitors to the town what community groups and organisations are available in Bewdley and what they do – and hopefully recruit new members and volunteers.

Kyle Daisley, community engagement and events officer for Bewdley Town Council, said: “We have 26 community groups involved in the event. We have different groups involved from the Bewdley Rotary Club, to Bewdley Stroke Group and Bewdley Civic Society, to Severn Area Rescue Association.

“It is really for the groups to explain to people and visitors what they do and who they are.

“There are so many groups and organisations in Bewdley, doing different things – this event will bring everyone together.

“I hope the event gives a real community boost – everyone gets to showcase their work.”
