A COMMUNITY awareness morning gave residents the low-down on what to do and where to go in Padiham.

The event at the Methodist Church gave information on the groups and societies in the town -- while providing play day activities for youngsters in the half-term holidays.

Adults saw display stands by various groups, including the local Credit Union, Age Concern, Painting for Pleasure and the Fifty Something Theatre group.

For the kids there were competitions, arts and crafts and a bouncy castle.
