Soho Finger Neighbourhood Forum in conjunction with Soho Neighbourhood Management team will be staging a resident involvement event at Soho Community Hall, Chapel St on 21st August between 10-16.00pm. This will be an event where various organisations meet with residents to inform them of their services that they provide. It is also residents becoming proactive in their communities and engaging in services that have created for their needs. All residents will be welcomed and they can be from all different ages and backgrounds.
It is all about residents coming forward and voicing their concerns as well as working with service providers to make the neighbourhood a cleaner, greener and sfer place to live place.

Music and dance were some of the great successes at the recent Party in the Park event at Waverhill Park on 17th July. Despite the early showers the huge turnout were treated to some spectacular entertainment which captured the imagination of party goers of all ages.
DJ Hector entertained the crowd with his own unique fusion of music and dance. Here he is in action!

There was also an opportunity for party goers to play different types of drums as well as get involved in the arts and crafts. Here is one young party goer creating her own beat!
It was good to to see families and the community together enjoying a wonderful event organised by Colin Hanno, residents and key stakeholders. In the words of Hector (Mr Handsworth) it was truly ”Unity in the Community”
