Visitors could also go along and find out about the forum and its future activities, which includes a trip to the Blackpool illuminations in October.

Tammy Clayton from the forum said: “It was fantastic – loads of families came down to see us and the children had so much fun.




“We always try to put plenty of events on for families during the summer.”

Ashley Augustine, who has lived in Frankley all his life, took his children to the event.


He said: “The people here are very community-minded and there’s always lots going on.”
