The aim of the event, which took place on August 6, was to encourage people to seek help with housing issues early, before problems escalate into homelessness. It also gave the community a chance to access advice and support in a relaxed, welcoming setting, with plenty of free activities for children and families on the day.
Some of the fun activities included a bouncy castle, crafts, temporary tattoos, games and character mascots, along with a close look at emergency service vehicles.
Partners at the event included the Homeless Prevention team, Allocations, Welfare, Revenues and Debt Services, Housing, Private Sector and Conflict Resolution, and Fairer Falkirk, as well as Waste Services and Paragon Housing Association. Also on hand were Barnardo's, the NHS Nutrition team, the Forth Valley Family Support Service at SFAD (Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs) and more.
The day brought together a number of support organisations, helping people connect with services, access useful information and enjoy a fun, community-focused positive event.
