Families flock to Houlton to enjoy fun in the sun and help men's mental health charity
Families turned out in force for the annual Houlton Family Fun Day at the weekend.
It took place at the Houlton Sports Fields and The Barn, and included inflatables, games, live music, performances, food vendors and stalls from local businesses.
Organised by the Houlton Events Team, it raised funds for Back and Forth - Men's Mental Health, a men’s mental health group that started its life in the community.
The group, founded by Houlton resident Dan Phillips, started as an informal walking group aiming to bring people together for open conversations and support, and has grown to run walks across Warwickshire as well as social evenings, a podcast, and talks at venues including The Tuning Fork in Houlton.
Houlton Community Gardens and Houlton WI had stalls on the day. It was supported by various organisations linked to Houlton, including Urban&Civic as well as Mulberry Homes, Miller Homes, St. Modwen Homes, Preim, Clifton upon Dunsmore Parish Council, and Creative Protection Services.
