Summer gala is fun for all

Children enjoyed fairground rides, face painting, henna art and donkey rides at Thornhill Lees Community Centre in Brewery Lane.

Volunteer Tina Shaw said: “Everybody seemed to have a lot of fun. It really helps with community cohesion in the area.

“I’ve been a volunteer for six years. It’s a really valuable service for the community.”

Savile Town based youth group Kumon Y’all also had a stall at the event on Sunday. Offering free refreshments and games, they also offered to answer questions about Islam. The award-winning organisations are committed to solving problems within communities and bringing people closer to together.
