Brighton Trip – August 2021

Brandon TRA in association with Active Communities Network and supported by United St. Saviours, organised a trip to the seaside for 114 Brandon parents & children. We booked two 57 seater coaches which left the estate at 09:00am and and departed Brighton at 3:00pm. We organised some water & fruit for everybody on the trip down, and gave everybody an allowance for lunch. It was great to be able to get so many families a day out off the estate after all these months of lockdown. Lots of smiling faces in the pictures below.

Many thanks to Ola and Valentina, for doing all the hard work, dealing with the registrations, booking the coaches, and organising the food and snacks for everybody. The trip was also supported by Rubel & Enry from Active Communities Network who came along to help out.

And many thanks to Matt & Sarah from United St. Saviours who helped out with some of the funding.

Great that we have a really good TRA committee, who organised this trip. Below  are a few pictures of the day out. Now we just need to decide where to book for next year!!!
