Mansfield clean-up and bite and blether proves to be a winning combo for Tain!
A COMMUNITY clean-up followed by a bite, blether and some fun was a winning combination for residents of Tain.
It was a team effort by Mansfield Residents Association, CCAST Highland, the Hub and Highland Council with around 50 folk enjoying soup and toasties, a bounce on the castle and cage football.
Face painter Katie Campbell was kept busy and there was a chance to plant 'micro-gardens' courtesy of the Fearn Free Food initiative.
A number of local children got involved in some weeding and litter-picking alongside older volunteers before the fun which was also followed by treats from North Coast Coffee.
A spokeswoman said later: "It was sunny and warm and nice to welcome all to the Mansfield Hub and show that the Mansfield is a nice and friendly place to be. Another great joint effort – a big thank you to all!"
Future plans include hosting a Santa’s grotto at the hub one evening in December.
The group also has a ‘hub grub’ community food larder available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays open to all and supported by Tain Coop.
