The Weekend

The Noise Weekend is jam packed full with loads of different projects and activities going on. What happens in each community will look slightly different, but here are some of thing that you might come across.
Full details of what’s happening and where can be found on the local publicity here.

COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION PROJECTS

Over the 3 days, Noise volunteers will be working hard on a range of practical projects. These projects have been suggested by people who live and work within the local community with the aim to have an immediate and long term impact. This might include:

*Renovation and general maintenance inside and outside school buildings
*Projects in sheltered housing accommodation and community centres
*Work in individual gardens
*General tidy up and cutting back of overgrown public spaces
*Rubbish and litter clearance
*and much, much more…

The Noise is works closely with other local community organisations (statutory and voluntary), so that together we can identify the projects which will be of most benefit to the community. If you know of any community based projects that we could help with during The Noise 2012 we would love to hear from you. Are you involved with a community group that could use some extra manpower? Do you know of dumped rubbish that needs clearing up? If so please get in touch with the Noise Office on 0117 9791399 or fill in the form on the contact page.

We cannot promise to do every project suggested but we will do what we can!

FAMILY FUN AFTERNOONS

The Noise Family Fun Afternoons are locally based events which happen over the whole weekend.

The whole community is invited to enjoy an afternoon that has something for everyone to get involved in, and where everything on offer is completely FREE! There are different age-related zones, bouncy castles and inflatable games, face painting, a café area, and an all afternoon roadshow. Check out the photo gallery from last year to see what happened.

COMMUNITY BBQS

Alongside some of the Family Fun Afternoons we will also be running a Community BBQ. Join the queue for a FREE burger and a bun!

SENIOR CITIZENS BANQUETS

On the Sunday afternoon of the Noise weekend, we will be hosting a banquet for senior citizens in Horfield/Lockleaze, in Southmead, and in Sea Mills. This includes a 3 course dinner, and some light entertainment and a real 'sense of occasion'! Full details of locations, timings and how to book are here.
