				takes place over 3days. The first day is reserved for local
				schools with approximately 400 school children attending.

SHARe Knowsley
The trustees were approached by a charity, SHARe	Knowsley, to use of
the building to assist them in supporting the welfare	of refugees and
asylum seekers in the area. The trustees agreed to a trial period and
review for SHARe to use the facilities once a week. A trustee would		be
present at each session to help set up the facility and to clear away. No
charge would be made to SHARe for the use ofthe facilities though
SHARe would provide a clothing bank, supplementary	food items and
refreshments.
The sessions have become very popular with asylum	seekers with	over	~
70 attending the drop in sessions weekly.
