The Bosworth Community Forum took place on Thursday at Newbold Verdon Community Primary School.

This was a special, well attended meeting to support community centres and villages halls. We heard from key funders and a local success story of a community centre. We also had interactive workshops on areas such as sustainability, reducing energy costs, obtaining funding and much more.

Feedback was very positive and attendees benefited from the valuable advice and from the networking opportunity.
