THERE’S plenty of fun and fundraising planned at an Ashton-under-Lyne centre for all of the community to get involved in this spring.
The 4C centre on Taunton Road will be holding table top sales, a three-hour dance-a-thon, a craft market and an Easter egg trail in the coming weeks.
This Sunday (February 23) sees their latest table top sale from 1pm to 3pm – but there will be free cake and a drink on offer in return for donations.
The centre is looking for unopened gift sets, bottles, toys, books, teddies, chocolate and biscuits. Items will be accepted at the discretion of staff and volunteers.
For those unable to make this weekend, the next table top sale will be at the same time on Sunday, April 13.
Anyone who would like to be a seller on the day can email josie@4ccommunitycentre.org.uk to book a pitch for £10 – you must bring your own table and rail.
The centre is also searching for people who have what it takes to dance for three hours non-stop and make it to the end, guided by dance motivator Paul.
To help raise funds for the 4C, the three-hour dance-a-thon is on Saturday, March 8, from 1pm to 4pm.
There’s free entry for spectators and there will be a raffle, tombola, a face painter and a sweet stall.
If you would like to take part, email josie@4ccommunitycentre.org.uk for a copy of the entry pack.
If you like being creative or buying crafts, save the date of the centre’s craft market on Saturday, March 29, from 11am to 2pm.
It’s a market with a difference as a few of the stall holders will offer on-the-spot workshop opportunities, from embroidery to card making.
Entry is free and there will be handmade items, art, jewellery and pottery available to buy.
And there’s something for the kids too as they can have a cracking time on the Easter egg trail on Saturday, April 19, from 10am to midday.
It’s a free Easter event with 200 tickets available for families to book for their children.
Once the children complete the trail, they will be given an Easter egg and there will be opportunities to have a photo with the Easter Bunny.
Anyone interested in taking part can email Josie on the address above.
