A community expo to showcase local projects and groups is looking for people to get involved.

Weymouth Town Council’s Community Expo is returning in May on the seafront near the Jubilee Clock.   

At the event, you can find out more about council services and projects, and it also highlights the work of voluntary and community groups operating for the benefit of the community. 

You will also get the chance to meet the new Mayor of Weymouth and hear a short annual report from the Town Clerk on what the council has done over the past year and how it spends tax-payers money.

If you are a local charity or community group that would like to take part and run a stall at the free event, then Weymouth Town Council would like to hear from you. Community groups that have already signed up include: 

  • Weymouth Samaritans  
  • Beach Babes Weymouth 
  • Ready Easy Dorset 
  • Skills and Learning 
  • Weymouth Vehicle Preservation Society 
  • Volunteer Centre Dorset 
  • Weymouth & Portland Marine Litter Project 
  • Age UK 
  • Park Community Centre  
  • Weymouth Football Club 
  • Citizens Advice 

Jane Biscombe, Weymouth Town Council’s Town Clerk, said: “The Community Expo provides a fantastic opportunity to showcase the work of the many voluntary, community and charitable organisations that operate in Weymouth as it’s a really useful networking event.  

“We hope to see many more people coming along to the drop-in event happening at Jubilee Clock this year, which will be a great way to find out more about all the fantastic work that is currently happening in Weymouth for the benefit of the town’s different communities. If you are a local community group and want to be involved then get in contact with Charlotte.”  

The event runs from 11am to 2pm on Saturday, May 18, with stalls located by the Jubilee Clock.  

If your organisation would like a stall at the Community Expo 2024, email charlotteemery@weymouthtowncouncil.gov.uk by Friday, May 3, midday. 

Last year there were stalls ranging from Dorset Police, Friends of Weymouth and Portland  Hospital, Age Uk, Royal Voluntary Service, Big 4 Littlemoor, Nothe Fort, Hangers Heroes, as well as a range of stalls promoting the work of Weymouth Town Council.
