UPHALL CHILDRENS GALA UPDATE
The last few remaining Committee Members have made the difficult decision that there will not be a Gala in 2022. projects help to bring the local community together to increase skills, build relationships and support individuals and families who may be struggling in the present economic climate.
Polbeth Community Hub can be contacted via email at hub@polbeth.org or by calling 01506536123.
Pictured bellow Marissa Robertson and Stacy Cowan of Bootycamp Livingston and Eddie Dunlop HUB Manager.
There have been a few factors which have contributed to this but unfortunately, the main reason is a few of the existing Committee have decided to step down and there just isn’t enough time to try and persuade the Uphall community to form a new Committee and organise a Gala day too.
We fully intend to hold a Gala in 2023 but will require the support of the community to enable this to happen.
We plan to hold our AGM in October/ November and would encourage the people of Uphall to attend and join the very small Committee.
Further details of the AGM will be provided nearer the time.
