Share a Smile

Every wondered how you could improve the place in which you live....for free...!!Well here is the answer....

A group of people, including volunteers from the community, the Community Press, local police officers, Central and Hindpool Neighbourhood Management and Barrow Crime and Disorder Reduction Parntership, have come together to share the smiles of fellow residents of Barrow. Our initial goal was to take pictures of 1,000 smiling faces of people who live and work in our town and display them on 'the Eye'. The 'Eye' is a very large projector that sits in the police station and projects an image approximately 40ft by 40ft on to the Furness House building opposite. You've probably seen it!

Now we want to capture the smile of every person, community group, group of colleagues, group of friends, and any other group you can think of! Do you fancy having your face on there?! Well now you can ... log on to our Share a Smile blog to see what's happening and keep up to date with the project as it develops. On there we ask everyone to send us a picture of themselves - smiling obviously - which we will put on to a slide show and feature on that blog.

Additionaly as many as possible will be shown on 'the Eye'. Some of the best will be chosen to feature in our local Community Press which is distributed for free to residents of local areas of Barrow. Copies of the papers can also be obtained form the Central and Hindpool Neighbourhood Management office on Dalton Road in Barrow (opposite Connexions). You can view the latest editions at http://www.nwemail.co.uk/home/community_press_2_3646.

So...get smiling...get snapping...and e-mail your photos to us: Rebecca at: rrawlings@barrowbc.gov.ukRosie at: rhillman@barrowbc.gov.uk
