WESTBURY United welcomed families from across the local area to a picnic on the pitch as the club joined forces with local organisations including Wiltshire Council, health and police partners to host free events in August.
The events were organised as part of a multi-agency initiative with professionals on hand to offer advice and support.
Cllr Laura Mayes, cabinet member for children’s services said, “I joined one of the events and it was a joy seeing so many families spending time together, playing games and also having professionals on hand to talk to and discuss any issues.
“These fun events are part of a wider pilot which is taking place in Westbury and Warminster to help families access information, advice and support as early and easily as possible. I want to thank our community-spirited local football clubs for providing their venues and support to make these events happen. It shows how important community is for everyone’s wellbeing.”
