WATCH (Working Actively To Change Hillfields) was established in 1998 and on May 13th 2023 we celebrated it’s 25th year anniversary.
On the day, we had live acts including Keno Demus and Liz Max, Feisty with Cazzy and Zeze, Soulful Choir as well as Kadence Drumming, Indian Dancers and a Tai Chi demonstration.
We also had a number of information stalls highlighting the fabulous support services available across Coventry. These included:
Positive Images Festival, The Highlife Centre, Creative Kindness, Creative Optimistic Visions, Voluntary Action Coventry, St Giles, Coventry Libraries and Information Service as well as Transport for West Midlands with their Let’s Chat Bus!
Food was kindly provided by the amazing people at Sky Blue Support.
We had several stations of children’s activities including giant games and free face painting! We also held a raffle where you could win a selection of goods including merchandise from The Coventry Music Museum at 2-Tone Village, coronation memorabilia and so much more!
All of the funds raised during the event will go directly back into helping the local community. Check out some great photos from the day below:
