Community
Events
Celebrations, gatherings, and experiences that bring our community together throughout the year.
See What's On
Throughout the year, Progress Network creates moments that bring our community together. These aren't just events - they're celebrations of who we are, what we've built, and the connections that make St Leonards stronger.
From big seasonal celebrations to camping trips under the stars, from family fun days to showcasing young talent, our community events are where friendships deepen, families connect, and everyone belongs.
More Than Just Dates on a Calendar
Our events happen throughout the year, each with its own purpose and energy:
Big Celebrations
These are the moments we come together as a whole community. Food, entertainment, awards, talent showcases, market stalls. These celebrations mark achievements, seasons, and the strength of what we've built together.
Family Fun Days
Simple joy. Games, activities, food, laughter. These are the easy, relaxed gatherings where families can just be together, where kids can play, and where the stress of daily life takes a break.
Camping Trips
Adventure beyond our streets. Sleeping under stars, cooking over fires, exploring nature. For many children, these trips are their first time camping - experiences they'll remember forever.
Young Stars Showcases
Our young people have talent. These events give them the stage - literally. Music, dance, spoken word, whatever they want to share. This is where confidence is built and stars are born.
Building Community, One Gathering at a Time
Not every family can afford days out, camping trips, or special experiences. Many children have never been camping, never performed on a stage, never felt the pride of their community celebrating them.
Our events change that.
They're free or low-cost. They're welcoming to everyone. They're designed to create the experiences and connections that make childhood rich and community real.
Who These Are For
Everyone.
Our events welcome all ages - from toddlers to grandparents. You don't need to be part of other Progress Network programmes to come. You don't need to know anyone. You just need to show up.
Whether you've been with us from the beginning or this is your first time hearing about Progress Network, you're welcome at our events. That's what community means.
What's Coming Up
Our event calendar changes with the seasons and responds to what our community needs and wants.
Every young person in St Leonards deserves the chance to thrive.
Help us make it happen.
