The idea for the Halesworth Rising event was triggered by the Rifle Hall Trust and St Mary's church having discussions on the potential of each group "treading on the toes" of each other in terms of applications for funding and resources.
The founding groups organising the event are St Mary's Regeneration, Halesworth Volunteer Centre, Halesworth Health, The Rifle Hall Trust, Halesworth Community Nursing Care Fund, Halesworth Campus Ltd and The Halesworth Dementia Carers' Fund.
The purpose of the event is awareness-raising; explaining the differences between projects and what each one is doing and an opportunity for people to comment on what they see and hear.
Name: Halesworth Rising - Community Projects Fair
Date: 21st March 2015
Venue: The Rifle Hall, Halesworth
Times open to the public: 10am-4pm.
The target audience includes residents of Halesworth and surrounding parishes, representatives from local authorities, MPs, the media and representatives from regional/national charities etc.
Other organisations may be invited to join the event. A rule of thumb is that the event is to showcase developments, rather than all the voluntary/charitable activity in the town.
