The Carrowdore & District Community Association was formed in February 2020, just before the COVID pandemic hit. Our focus throughout this time was to adopt a food bank to help those in our local area. We worked in partnership with local church organisations. We provided hundreds of food parcels during the first 12 weeks of lock down in our
community. We have had numerous events with the children in the community such as Easter Colouring in competitions, all undertaken from a distance, where children posted their pictures online and also in their own front windows, much the same as the communities around the UK, with the NHS Rainbows. We managed to perform a community litter pick clean-up of our areas, bringing children and adults together. We also had a very successful Christmas Carnival, where we provided free entertainment in the form of a band, free tuck shop for refreshments, free Santa visit and Christmas Stockings for all children. There were stalls provided by people from within our local community and further afield. Recently we purchased mannequins to run heart start classes, which our community is really interested in this valuable free class. We provided every home where our elderly live with a free flower box We assisted to provide all the villagers who were interested in the ability to grow their own VEG in 2021 with seeds/tubers and containers and soil, with instruction on how to GROW YOUR OWN.
