About

Scheme Maws Community and Events is a community organisation serving Carnwadric, Arden and surrounding Southside areas.

We host parties and events for the local community. Most of these events are free of charge but some require tickets and spaces are limited.

The idea of the Scheme Maws started in the summer of 2023, whilst 2 of our girls were in town shopping they made a passing comment regarding the Halloween decorations in Poundland.

After speaking more about what we could do, a Halloween party was formed and so was the Scheme Maws. Our aim is give the children of the local community something to look forward to for free or a little cost.
