Funding created dark night events for South Doncaster
Funding from the Anticipate Programme was used to support a series of exciting, diversionary activities across the South of Doncaster during key nights this autumn.
These events were designed to engage young people, help to reduce anti-social behaviour (ASB) and strengthen community spirit.
A total of £2,972.98 was allocated to support 13 local groups and organisations, each delivering creative, inclusive, and fun-filled sessions. From firework displays and Halloween parties to art workshops and games nights, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
