A NEW date and venue has been set for the Bellair Community Police Forum (CPF) Fidelity ADT Unity Fun-Walk.

The event, powered by Fidelity ADT in partnership with the CPF, was initially meant to take place on July 19, however bad weather led to the postponement of the community event.

The walk will now start at Bellair Primary School (Purley Road Entrance) and will see residents take on a route in the area on Saturday, August 9.

Kaven Reddy, the Bellair CPF event co-ordinator, explained that the new event has exciting additions.

“The Bellair CPF and Fidelity ADT sincerely apologise to all our valued fun walkers and supporters for the inconvenience caused by the postponement of our event. We have now turned a rain delay into an exciting fun upgrade. There’s more entertainment, more fun, and more to celebrate.

“Some of the exciting new highlights include Rico the Clown, bringing laughter and joy for the whole family, and a special Women’s Day surprise to honour the incredible ladies in our community. We are incredibly grateful for the continued support and can’t wait to walk, laugh, and celebrate with everyone soon,” she said.

Public relations officer for the forum, Thora Hübl, said she hopes the event unites the community.

“The fun walk will begin and end at Bellair Primary School and is open to all ages. There will be water tables, a jumping castle and various food and drink stalls. There will also be some goodies for the children. We are grateful to our sponsors who’ve helped us bring the community together. We are looking at possibly making this an annual event which also offers us as the CPF a way to connect with the community,” she said.
