Report written by Frazer Brooks
We were out at the Community Fun Day in East Wickham, helping Discover Welling with their stalls. The team got stuck into running the fairground games, encouraging visitors to have a go, cheering them on, and politely pretending that some of the throws were, “very close indeed”. There was plenty of laughter and a good bit of friendly competition.
Alongside the games, we were busy chatting to residents, families and visitors throughout the day. It was a brilliant chance to be part of a local event that brought people together, raised smiles, and proved once again that no British summer fayre is complete without someone desperately asking their parents, “Can I have another go?”
Most importantly, the day helped raise money for Discover Welling and promoted other fantastic charities, including The KITE Foundation and Diabetes UK. So every game played, every pound donated, and every heroic attempt at winning contributed to some brilliant causes.
A huge well done to everyone involved in organising the day and making East Wickham feel even more community spirited than usual. GoodGym came, helped, laughed, and left with the warm glow of doing good, plus a renewed respect for anyone who can actually win one of those games on the first try!
Community group which aims to help highlight all the good things about Welling as well as finding ways to help enhance the community spirit of Welling. We exist to build on what is good, not complain about things.
