Community centre Sandys 360 will tonight host a public forum in hopes of generating ideas for strengthening the community.Speakers will include Youth Minister Glenn Blakeney, Family Centre executive director Martha Dismont, Somerset Cricket Club president Alfred Maybury and community activist Makai Dickerson.Melvyn Bassett, a retired school principal and the managing director of Sandys 360, will sit on the panel.The event is being held at 7pm in honour of the centre’s first anniversary.Dr Bassett said: “Tonight’s forum is to bring the community together to begin a conversation to identify opportunities that exist for us to work together and find ways to support our young people.“We know that when solutions are found in the community they are intended to support, they are accepted and implemented faster and tend to be far more successful than when solutions are imposed.“This forum will be different from other forums in that we will give everyone who is present an opportunity to have their voice heard. We know the answers will exist in the room and it will be our objective to find creative ways to ensure we walk away with solid and concrete ideas that we can share with a wider audience and also begin to look at how we can implement them.”
