New Progress Housing Association is supporting the Chinese New Year celebration organised by the South Ribble Arts Forum in recognition of the potential to raise general wellbeing and community spirit in Leyland and the surrounding area.

Volunteer stewards are needed for the parade, and these need to be adults with good traffic sense. Most of the parade shall make use of the Tesco car park and pavement areas, but there may be a short distance from the Stone Cross to the North Gate of Worden Park,  where there may be a need to process along the road.

When a parade travels along a road it needs to operate as if it were a motor vehicle, i.e. have stewards at the front and the back signalling any intentions to turn right, left, move out to overtake etc. Stewards shall also be required to keep any spectators on the pavements and discourage them from standing in the road, and make sure that the parade keeps moving and does not fragment. Having said this, there is only a very short distance on the road, and it is following a straight line with no turns.
 
About ten Stewards are needed and a briefing will take place before the parade to help with any questions and concerns and to outline the requirements.

Adults with good common sense and who are used to being firm in a friendly way are ideal candidates!

Although there will be no pay or expenses , volunteers will get a free chinese meal at the event and perhaps the opportunity to set off a flying lantern to get them one step nearer to making their wishes come true!

If you would like to help at the event, please call the our Community Investment Team on 01772 450842 or email community@progressgroup.org.uk
