HUNDREDS of people turned out to take part in a bid to make a difference to their community.

In the latest in a series of Make a Difference events, run by Colchester Council, zone teams, councillors and residents turned out for a family fun day in Greenstead.

Held on Magnolia Fields, families were able to enjoy a number of free activities including letting off some steam on inflatables and a healthy smoothy maker.

Gareth Mitchell, Colchester Borough Homes chief executive, said: “We were delighted with the fantastic turn out for the Colchester Borough Homes Make a Difference family fun day.

“Hundreds of people of all ages came along to Magnolia Fields in Greenstead to get involved with the free activities on offer.

“We would like to thank all the fantastic partnership agencies who supported the event, bringing lots of fun things to see and do, and offering help and support for residents on a number of topics.

“It was great to see the community coming together to enjoy this positive event.”
