Game On: Cloch Gala Day Brings Families Together

This year's Cloch Gala Day returned bigger and better than ever, with a brand-new sporting theme bringing even more fun, energy and excitement to the day.

Building on the success of our previous Gala Days, we partnered with Active Schools Inverclyde to introduce a range of sporting activities and races designed to get children active and involved. From friendly competitions to challenging games, there was something for everyone to enjoy, and the enthusiasm shown by the young people taking part was fantastic to see.

As always, some of our most popular attractions returned to help make the day special. The ever-popular Petting Zoo gave children the chance to meet and interact with a variety of animals, while our talented face painter and balloon artists ensured there were plenty of smiles throughout the afternoon.

The event brought together children and families from across Inverclyde for a day packed with fun, laughter and community spirit. Whether competing in races, trying a new activity or simply enjoying the atmosphere, everyone played their part in making the day a great success.

Michael Monaghan, Director of Customer Services and Communities, said:

"Bringing people together is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do at Cloch Housing Association. Our Gala Day is one of those highlights, as it gives families the opportunity to come together, have fun and create lasting memories. It was wonderful to see so many children taking part in the sporting activities, encouraging one another and making new friends. A huge thank you goes to Active Schools, our volunteers and everyone who helped make the day such a success. We are already looking forward to next year's event."
