Praise for Milford Haven’s Big Day Out

Over 400 people attended this year’s Big Day Out in Milford Haven, organised by Pembrokeshire County Council and Pembrokeshire Housing.

The event, involving tenants and staff of both organisations, provided a free activity packed day which included craft workshops, bird-box making, balloon modelling and play sessions.

Staff and volunteers from a range of agencies were on hand at the town’s leisure centre to provide information and guidance on a number of topical issues including Universal Credit and debt advice.

Comments from tenants on the event included: ‘’a free, enjoyable and eventful day for all’; ‘children thoroughly enjoyed the day’ and ‘fantastically organised, children smiled all day’.

Sue Rogers, Chairman of the Pembrokeshire Housing Tenants Panel said: “It was wonderful to see everyone having such a good time and we would love to get more tenants involved next year to make it even bigger and better”.
