Residents had a spooktacular time across our neighbourhoods with a host of Halloween treats, not tricks, organised by our Neighbourhood Engagement Team.
In Nottingham, Officer Asmina Choudhury hosted a fab-boo-lous arts and crafts session at the Dynamo café with local children painting vampires using Halloween stencils.
Parent Morgan said: ‘This was a really lovely and relaxed environment. I was pleasantly surprised about how many activities and supplies there were, and the included lunch was such a help!”
Officer Vikki Fitzpatrick organised several skele-fun activities for residents at the Crowswood Community Hub in Stalybridge.
This included a magic show for local children with magician Mr Tinsle and a Halloween party with games, prizes, a face painter and lots of tasty food.
Residents at the Audenshaw Community Hub put their scarily good talents to the test as they learned how to create floral arrangements inside pumpkins.
The session was organised by Officer Carolyn Alston, our Engagement, Funding and Research Officer Linda Whyatt and colleagues from Oasis Broadoak.
At the Dukinfield Hub, families took part in fang-tastic Halloween fun, with crafts activities organised by Officer Joanne Shaw, and Sam Snailham from the craft cafe.
Children made their own witches’ hat along with other spooky crafts and everyone who attended received a free lunch.
In Ashton, children took part in an arts and craft session at Gibson Terrace, making ghoulish bats and ghosts while light refreshments were provided for families.
Officer Minaz Aslam also organised a Halloween party with Ashton Pioneer Homes and many residents attended, wearing their scariest costumes.
Children did the monster mash at a spooky disco with craft activities with Healthy Me Healthy Communities in Gorton organised by Officer Julie Fraser, who also held a Halloween party at the Neighbourhood Project in Harpurhey. Around 126 people attended and enjoyed a DJ, games, free food and prizes.
