This funding is intended for essential stage lighting and sound equipment\, ensuring that the proceeds raised by the charity directly benefit grieving families who are facing the devastating impact of losing loved ones to suicide. \nI would also bring Mathew Hill to give a presentation regarding the event. His insights into the profound impact of Laybo Fest on grieving families\, particularly through the assistance offered with funeral expenses\, will be invaluable. \nFurthermore\, it is noteworthy that advertising space will be sold on the big screens during the festival to help promote local businesses\, fostering a sense of community support. \nLaybo Fest is not merely an event; it is a significant opportunity to foster community spirit\, promote local talent\, and create cherished memories for both residents and visitors. Operating on a not-for-profit basis\, all proceeds from the festival will benefit Laybo’s Legacy\, a charity dedicated to supporting families affected by suicide. The requested sponsorship will ensure that funding for this vital charity remains secure while simultaneously creating a joyous occasion for our community. \nFor your consideration\, here is a breakdown of the costs for the sound and lighting stage\, including VAT:\n– Stage: £2\,940\n– Lights: £1\,374\n– Two big screens: £2\,832 (to promote positive messages and vital helplines)\n– Sound: £4\,096 \nThe total amount comes to £11\,242. I would like to highlight that these costs are exceptionally competitive\, as evidenced by the quotes provided by T MEC Productions. \nSupporting Laybo Fest offers numerous benefits for our community. It promises an exciting weekend filled with activities for all ages\, encouraging participation from young and old alike. Local groups and performers will have the opportunity to showcase their talents alongside renowned acts\, creating an inclusive atmosphere that uplifts everyone. \nThe festival will feature poignant performances of songs with powerful messages—such as Heather Small’s “Search for the Hero\,” Oasis’s “Don’t Look Back in Anger\,” and Queen’s “Radio Ga Ga.” These performances are designed to provide hope and connection\, particularly for those experiencing difficult times. Laybo Fest is poised to become a beloved annual event\, bringing joy and anticipation to our residents\, especially as our town’s population is projected to grow by 10\,000 by 2040. \nAdditionally\, this festival will serve to highlight our town to visitors and offer local groups a platform to recruit new members and engage with the broader community. We are fortunate to have the support of Gainsborough Trinity Football Club and Cllr Matt Boles in this endeavour. \nIn conclusion\, I urge the Town Council to consider this motion favourably. By supporting Laybo Fest\, we can enhance our local culture\, strengthen community ties\, and provide essential support to those in need. \nFC25/190  Annual Assembly of the Town Meeting\nTo note arrangements to date.\nPaper H (pages 30 to 32) \nFC25/191  English Devolution White Paper\nTo consider the English Devolution White Paper\nhttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/english-devolution-white-paper-power-and-partnership-foundations-for-growth/english-devolution-white-paper\nPaper I (pages 33 to 134) \nFC25/192  Correspondence\nTo note the correspondence previously circulated by email (for information only).\nPaper J TO FOLLOW \nFC25/193  Items for Notification\nTo receive any items for notification to be included on a future agenda (for information only)\ni.
