What Is the "What the Flock Event?"

The What the Flock Event is a community gathering designed to bring people together for a good cause. It’s not just a fundraiser; it’s a celebration of local spirit and generosity. The event takes place at the Bridge, a well-known local venue that offers plenty of space for activities, stalls, and socializing. From 10am to 4pm, visitors can enjoy a full schedule of events that cater to all ages and interests.

The event’s main goal is to raise money for two charities that serve the community in unique ways:

• NW Blood Bikers: Volunteers who deliver urgent medical supplies across the region, helping hospitals and patients.

• Art4All: An organization that promotes creativity and inclusion through art programs for people of all abilities.

  
  

Why Support NW Blood Bikers?

NW Blood Bikers play a vital role in healthcare by providing a free, fast, and reliable courier service for blood, medical samples, and equipment. Their work saves lives by ensuring hospitals get what they need quickly, especially during emergencies. Since they rely entirely on volunteers and donations, community support is essential.

By attending the What the Flock Event, the collections will go towards funding their operations. Your contribution means better healthcare support across the region.

How Art4All Makes a Difference

Art4All focuses on making art accessible to everyone, regardless of age, background, or ability. Their programs encourage creativity, boost confidence, and foster social connections. Through workshops, exhibitions, and community projects, Art4All helps people express themselves in guided workshops and events.

Funds raised at the What the Flock Event will support new workshops, art supplies, and outreach programs. This means more people can experience the joy and benefits of art in their lives.

Activities on the day are designed to bring people together and raise funds in a fun, interactive way. We hope to see you there!
