16th - 20th November 2023

🍺 This week kicked off with an afternoon of seasonal fun at The Courtyards’ Oktoberfest! Residents enjoyed German-themed food a raffle and musical entertainment from Independent Living Facilitator John!

🌧️ The Engagement team carried out a mini pop-up in the Ashton area, promoting our Winter Warmer sessions in November, which will support tenants with heating, cookery and money advice as the weather gets colder.

🤝 The team also spoke to tenants in Dawson and Aughton Walks in the city centre, consulting them about the removal of some benches which are a focus for anti-social behaviour, as well as a range of ways they can get involved. As you can see, they're sporting new CGA-branded beanies, ready for winter!

👮‍♀️ Engagement Officer Eddie spent some time in Moor Nook, following up an environmental audit by the Police, to see how we could support them in the area.

💻 Our Gateway Central group met on Thursday evening for an Insight and Information workshop, and were given new Chrome Books to help them carry out their roles. Gateway Central is a sub-committee of our Board, overseeing the development of our Community Empowerment Strategy, monitoring customer service performance and look at all tenant consultation activity.
