CatholicCare Wilcannia-Forbes team member Dylan Biles is encouraging families to come along to the organisation’s free Forbes Community Movie Night on Friday.
Families at Forbes and Trundle can enjoy a film event for free this month, thanks to CatholicCare Wilcannia-Forbes.
The organisation’s Family and Relationship Services team is hosting a movie night at Forbes on Friday 6th September, and at Trundle on Friday 20th September.
The events will feature a screening of the film, The Wolf and the Lion, as well as a free barbecue sausage sizzle and other activities for children, all at no charge to attendees.
CatholicCare Wilcannia-Forbes’s Family and Relationship Services team organised these events to bring families together and add to the social experience for community members in these towns.
Forbes Community Movie Night, Friday 6th September, 5pm-9pm, to be held at Forbes Public School. Bring chairs and rugs and dress warmly. Children are to be supervised by parents. No staff supervision available for children. This is a drug-free and alcohol-free event.
Trundle Community Movie Night, Friday 20th September, 5pm-9pm, to be held at St Patrick’s Catholic School. Bring chairs and rugs and dress warmly. Children are to be supervised by parents. No staff supervision available for children. This is a drug-free and alcohol-free event.
“Our community movie nights are an enjoyable night of entertainment for families that don’t break budgets,” Family and Relationship Services delivery leader Rebecca Lee said.
“They are a chance for children to make memories and they encourage strong positive bonds between family members, and between families in the community.”
Serving western NSW, CatholicCare Wilcannia-Forbes understands the needs of smaller rural communities.
“With time pressures, many families can’t take a day to travel to a bigger city for entertainment,” Ms Lee said.
“Furthermore, owing to inflation, many families may not be able to afford the fuel to travel away.”
All are welcome to attend.
