What is the Brunswick Tenants and Residents Association?
The group is made up of local people who come together to address issues within their local area and act as a voice for their local community. The committee of BTARA is open to all local people living in the Brunswick area.

![Supported by S4B, the consortium set up to produce the 25-year £106m regeneration and community development project in Brunswick, the Lightime CIC team successfully delivered another magnificent event for the whole community and visitors to enjoy. The Mid-Autumn festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is celebrated in Chinese culture. Lanterns are traditionally made as part of the event and symbolise lighting the path to prosperity and good fortune.
Members of the Brunswick community attended craft classes prior to the event to make their own lanterns which were displayed around Gartside Gardens Park and as night fell, the lanterns were lit to be seen in all their glory. Visitors even carried their own bright and unique creations to add to the wonderful spectacle.
Activities on the night included cultural and artistic performances, unique delicacies, games, wish card writing, tattoo stickers all topped off with a lucky draw and dazzling firework display. There was also a selection of stalls with budding traders selling their wares and handmade crafts and stalls selling authentic treats.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bdcd82_1386a16ebf864262ab0da793a6309d78~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_313,h_313,fp_0.85_0.41,q_75/bdcd82_1386a16ebf864262ab0da793a6309d78~mv2.jpg)
