“It is a really nice event where everyone gets involved.
“The whole weekend just had a really good atmosphere.”
The group have been able to ordered a portable defibrillator that is expected next month.
It will be set up for public use at the Kirkhamgate Village Hall.
Alongside this funds are planned to be put towards improving playgrounds in the area following negotiations with the council.
