EVALUATION OF EVENTS

It is the Trust's intention to take feedback on a number of events so we can improve the service we provide to the community.  This feedback will be taken to the Communications and Events Team for future events.

FEEDBACK ON MINI GALA

The survey was launched on the Monday after the event for seven days.  49 people responded to the Mini Gala Survey. 

COMMUNICATIONS

Most people heard about the event on facebook, Trust E mail, Trust Magazine/Newletter, the Trust website and word of mouth.

COMMUNITY VIEW

The overall view of the event was positive, community spirit, atmosphere, organisation, friendly, mix of stalls etc. rating highly. 

Things to improve included volume of parking, accessibility to the venue, signage, improved pathways for those with mobility issues, more events for children, some thought to how the raffle was drawn and making other stall holders aware who may attend for stock control.  Many people still said only positive things when asked this question.

It’s probably worth noting many suggestions were not unexpected and of course the event was scaled down considerably due to potential Covid restrictions.  All the feedback is useful with some suggesting they are willing to help with solutions to some of these issues.

THANKS

Thanks to everyone for attending, feedback and everyone involved in the organisation of this event.
