We were pleased to welcome BBC Radio Northampton as part of their Treasure Quest programme and NLive who featured some of our lovely stallholders being interviewed on their Sunday Morning Show.
We were also supporting Rachel, an adult student Nurse from the University of Northampton who is looking into positive help in the community as part of her study. Thanks to our stallholders for taking the time to talk with Rachel.

Here's the feedback from some of our stallholders and visitors
Today's event was so worthwhile. Chatting with people who come to our stand has a real impact on the quality of life and wellbeing of those that may otherwise not have learned what we can offer. Productive networking with the other organisations present was also very beneficial for us
Good networking opportunities, lots of interest from the public and other services present, potentially 8-10 referrals gained today, thank you
I could cry with relief, I have just got the help I have been looking for for ages
Really well run and valuable event, thank you
Excellent event, great to inform residents about our 50+programme, Activity on Referral, Wellbeing Walks and Youth Club. Networking with other stallholders now means they have links to our programmes, a very worthwhile day, thank you
I have been struggling since losing my husband a few months ago,I now have details of at least 4 places I can go to to meet other people and get out of the house, thank you
It was lovely meeting with other local organisations that support the community, we have taken their details so that we can signpost our café visitors
A well organised event full of friendly people. Made some good connections and enjoyed the networking opportunities
Brilliant venue, made quite a few new contacts, new clients and really enjoyed speaking to people, thank you
We've really enjoyed this event. We have gained a volunteer and a potential bid from the lottery to reach more rural communities. Thank you for your hard work in putting this event together
It was fantastic to meet the other organisations present. We would like to come again!
