UPDATES FROM DECEMBER 2018

Technicolour Christmas Show and Market

The Technicolour Christmas Show and Market was a great success with approximately 1000 people in attendance. There was an amazing variety of food available for purchase including our very own Developing & Growing Small Business group who also had a stall in the market. There was a beautiful choir who sang our favorite Christmas Carols, plenty of games to keep the children entertained and to win some great prizes. We had a visit from Santa as well! To top it all off, we had two incredible Christmas Shows performed by the International City Church creative arts team.

Developing and Growing Small Businesses Program

In the past 2 months, 12 budding entrepreneurs had learnt about business planning, basic accounting and marketing principles and methods to start a small business in either the food or cleaning industry. These program participants had an opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills learnt by setting up a food stall during the Technicolour Christmas Markets. In addition, several business owners went through business coaching sessions to improve their business effectiveness and outcomes.
