🎭🌈 What an unforgettable day at the SHY Creative Carnival of Colours 2026! 🌈🎭
Our hearts are full of gratitude as we reflect on an incredible day of creativity, fun, learning and community spirit.
It was wonderful to see children, young people and families from across Hull come together to enjoy carnival arts, music, games, face painting, community stalls and so much more. The smiles, laughter and energy throughout the day reminded us why creating safe, inclusive spaces for young people is so important.
A huge thank you to every child, parent, volunteer, guest, community partner and supporter who joined us and helped make the event such a success. Your encouragement and participation made the day truly special.
We are especially grateful to Humberside Police, Humberside Fire & Rescue Service, Apus Productions Ltd, TJ Training and Consultancy Ltd, RSPCA Hull & East Riding, and all our community partners and volunteers for giving their time, expertise and support to help make the SHY Creative Carnival of Colours 2026 such a memorable success.
One of the most touching moments of the day was receiving a surprise appreciation gift from members of our community. I was truly humbled. Thank you for your kindness, encouragement and belief in the work of SHY CIC. This recognition belongs to our volunteers, partners and everyone who has supported our journey.
The National Lottery Community Fund
Finally, our heartfelt thanks go to The National Lottery Community Fund and National Lottery players. Your support made the SHY Creative Carnival of Colours 2026 possible and created a day filled with joy, creativity, inclusion and lasting memories for children, young people and families.
