🎵🎠Family Festivals 2024🎠🎵

Riverside Community Health project are excited to announce that we are running our annual Family Festivals as part of Newcastle's Best Summer Ever 2024!

These will be held at Hodgkin Park, Benwell, on Wednesday 7th and 14th August from 11.00am to 3.00pm.

🎟 Registration🎟
On the day of each event, there will be a designated area for you to sign in throughout the day. We encourage everyone to sign in as this will help support funding for future events.

There will also be an opportunity for you to obtain a safety wristband for your child, which will enable staff to contact you directly if your child is separated from you during the events. Safety wristbands will be available to collect in advance from Riverside's reception on Tuesday 6th August and Tuesday 13th August or, on the day when signing in.

🥪Packed Lunches🥪
This year, we have teamed up with 'Curbside Kitchen' to enable us to offer FREE packed lunches to children who are in receipt of Free School Meals. When signing in, parents will receive a token for each eligible child which will then need to be handed in to the catering truck in exchange for a packed lunch.

Please keep an eye out on our page for any further updates regarding these events.

We look forward to seeing you all on the day for a fun filled summer!
