On the 8th June 2022 Oadby and Wigston held its first 'Community Roadshow'. Community groups and residents were invited to come along to find out more about the groups and activities on offer in Oadby and Wigston, and how they could get involved.
Celebration, Learning and Opportunity!
On the day representatives from 24 local groups along with many residents attended to find out more about how they could make connections in their local community. Since the event more connections have been made, strengthening local relations, referring people to other groups and activities, and sharing of information/events.
