On Saturday 25 June I went to Beaumont Lodge Neighbourhood Association’s Annual Community Funday, organised by Leo and Barbara Grant-Bennett. Leo and Barbara’s tireless work and dedication, along with their enthusiastic team of volunteers, has quite literally transferred an old barn in Beaumont Leys into a thriving community facility used by local residents.

The annual Community Funday is always great, and this year was no exception. There were lots of stalls, a BBQ, bouncy castle, and brilliant entertainment including from dance groups the Pink Lizards and the Demolition Crew. I am a huge supporter of local community services that are organised and run by local people, and I want to see more of them across our city.
