The Watford Film Festival. Entries by Roger Faires and Kenji Lloyd.
An annual Watford Film Festival with a variety of showings and events taking place across different venues across the town.
The Film Festival will be a chance to celebrate the local film industry and bring the community together in a range of events for people of all ages. Celebrations will include film screenings in different arts venues, competitions and themed events for local schools, charities and organisations.
The Festival will build on the momentum of Watford’s growing film industry, attract new people to visit and put Watford on the map.
The Watford Pass- Laurie Bernard
A new scheme to promote all the sights and facilities that Watford has to offer and provide discounts on visits to local attractions and advertise community spaces.
The Watford Pass will be an incentive for tourists to visit and stay in the town and something that local people can benefit from too.; offering deals on entry to attractions, restaurants etc and information about events.
There are loads of great things to do in Watford and the Watford Pass will help identify these and encourage people to visit, boosting local organisations, giving local people something to do and increasing tourism.
Watford Green Spaces- Sophie Benger
An interactive project to highlight community spaces, encourage local people to help improve them and then enjoy them.
The project will mean people can publicise any space near them that might need some work eg littered green space and invite local individuals groups or schools to work together to improve the area, which can then be enjoyed by everyone. The project will also show success stories and suggest new ways to make the most of these spaces.
This idea will bring the community together to help their area and make it a more attractive and bring pride back to areas that have otherwise been ignored.
Watford Community Day- Rachael Townley
An annual community project day where everyone in Watford is encouraged to volunteer for the day across a wide variety of community projects.
For one day or weekend the whole town are invited to help their local area and charities by taking part in conservation activities, improving the look of their neighbourhood or giving time to local charities. Charities and neighbourhood groups will be able suggest tasks that they need help with and Watford residents, groups and businesses will be able to pledge their support.
The Community Day will be a chance for people who may not always have the time to volunteer on a regular basis and will encourage people to give back to their community as they work together.
