DDA provides a range of activities for the local community such as Christmas lights and we work with the Youth club to provide a Christmas party for 120-130 local children. We are twinned with a small village in France, Pont-Remy, and we host and engage in exchange visits. For example the football teams in the two villages have played matches and
we encourage links between the Primary Schools in the two areas. We work with Drumquin Enterprise Ltd, who manage two Enterprise Centres, to ensure that the tenants, Sure Start and the local playgroup, can deliver their services in a secure community facility. We have developed leaflets for a package of walks in the area highlighting areas of historic and environmental interest. We also engage in activities which promote the social, economic and cultural benefit of the area. In the past number of years we have developed a community garden with polytunnels this has proven really popular in the area encouraging members of the community to grow their own food, from this taken part in cook what you grow projects.
