As part of the Community and Member Participation Team, the role of a Member Activator is to ensure that Co-op's member owners have the opportunity to contribute to their community through events and meetings. The next opportunity for Northamptonshire comes in the form of a family fun day!

Co-op's Northamptonshire Member Activator, Jasmine Matthews, is excited to organise the event. Despite the cold of November, she believes the event will be well attended by the local community due to the amount of entertainment on offer.

Local charities are stall holders at the event: educating the public of their mission, recruiting volunteers and raising money for their group. Independent businesses will be showcasing their crafts and selling sweet treats. There's inflatables for the children, a dance performance and a live Wombles Demonstration where the public will don wellies and pickers to support an hour long clean up! The venue, Bradlaugh Fields and Barn, is already renowned with dog walkers and families. It's home to play equipment, forest school and nature areas. It also boasts an inhouse cafe, run by volunteers, where you can purchase Fairtrade Co-op hot drinks on the day!

West Northamptonshire Council is also attending the event, providing Cost of Living support. There's also the opportunity to meet Local Councillors and your Member of Parliament.

Invitation to the festival for the general public and Co-op members.

"Our Town: The Festival" is shaping up to be a busy day, filled with people who care about our local community and want to improve it, together.
