Charity Fair:  Stands:  And Deliver 2013

This is a new venture that we aim to replicate each year.  We are starting small, but immediate response has indicated that the event will quickly grow and become established.

Siawns Teg has past, current, and hopefully future working relationships with a number of service providers, all doing good work in delivering services that enable our community members to feel more included and supported.  In our experience there are a variety of smaller charities, agencies, community groups and public service providers that are not well known, and this presents a problem for people who are trying to get help.  At the same time those agencies without the resources to ‘market’ their services are often hidden, despite having valuable knowledge and experience to share.

This Charity Fair (With the strap line this year – STANDS:  AND DELIVER) is an opportunity for the many organisations from all sectors to demonstrate what they do with and for the community.

Bear Lanes in Newtown will be the venues in 2013.  There is room, under cover, for 40 tables of 2m length.  There will be a variety of interactive activities and entertainment going on, with childcare available.  The usual necessary support agencies including fire, police, and first aid, are already involved.

This is a complicated event to organise, and we would be grateful for support from organisations or key event organisers during the run up to the event, and on the day.

There will be a charge for organisations that take part of £30.  A refund of £10 will be given to those organisations that turn up on the day.   Spaces will be allocated, and so an early completion of the attached booking form is recommended.

A programme identifying participating organisations will be available on the day at no cost.  If however you want to advertise an event or your services a small cost will be made.  Please ask for details.

To book a stand, please fill in the application by the date noted.
