“We were lucky to have such great volunteer support from local housing association, AmicusHorizon, to make the day go smoothly. Lots of people made enquiries about how to be more involved in the Heart of Sidley. The Fun Day helped to raise awareness of the project and generate interest in the plans that we have to achieve big things with the £1m Big Lottery grant.”

Freestyle Combat Academy got everyone involved in some kickboxing, Zoo4You brought cockroaches, a barn owl and skunks to the party plus HoS’ much-loved mascot Sid also made an appearance.
