Organised by Winchester Area Community Action (WACA), Business Improvement District (BiD), CultureNet, the University of Winchester and Bangkok Brasserie's Miff Kayum, the event was an opportunity to meet and find out more about Winchester's diverse and hard-working organisations, as well as sampling multicultural dishes, dance, music and story-telling.
Steve said: "I was delighted to support this fantastic event again this year, which just goes to show how out third sector here is absolutely thriving. Sadly, Saturday's lovely weather didn't manage to sustain itself, but I know spirits were kept up nevertheless."
Local groups taking part included the Samaritans, Age Concern, Night Shelter, Trinity, Friends of the Family, Friends of Winchester Cathedral and Winchester Hospital Radio.
Steve continued:"I met up with every organisation here today, and gave them my thanks for supporting the event and taking part. I really am so proud that Winchester has so much to offer, and we are extremely lucky to have so many people who want to give so much back."
