29th July - 2nd August 2024
Another busy week to tell you about in our Friday Round-Up!
📰 We held a Day of Action in Plungington this week – alongside
Lancashire Police officers and PCSOs – where we were listening to residents, handing out information and discussing the issues faced by the community.
📰 Residents at The Courtyards extra care scheme got into the Olympics spirit this week, making miniature Olympic torches and rings.
📰 Our Mook Nook Allotments are always bustling with activity during the summer months – don’t forget the Family Fun Day, 20/08/24, 1-3pm, book here:
https://tinyurl.com/46cuwe8r – and this week was no different, as our Community Engagement Team held a Community Walk Around and Allotment Visit. All the plots at Moor Nook are looking fantastic! Keep up the good work 👍
📰 Officers took the opportunity to go on a walk around the Ashton area for one of their regular community pop-ups, knocking on tenants’ doors to check in with people, find out how they’re doing, and see if there’s anything we can help them with. If you need to contact Community Gateway to report a repair, or submit another type of query, complaint or compliment, then we’re always happy to help. Contact us: https://tinyurl.com/393k7872
📰 We had the privilege of speaking to the inspirational 13-year-old Joshua who is volunteering at Farringdon Park Food Club (and at the youth club) as part of his Duke of Edinburgh Award. Congratulations, Joshua, what you’re doing is such a massive help to the two clubs because these things don’t just run themselves! We also chatted with CGA tenants to make sure all is well with them.
📰 You may have seen our post about this yesterday – https://tinyurl.com/3kbnaepf – but it’s worth shouting about because it’s really vital work that they do: Adam Walmsley from Healthier Heroes CIC visited our homelessness accommodation at The Spires to explain the support available to veterans and their families. We do work with some tenants that are veterans, therefore it’s so important to help them work towards a positive, secure future, especially as they have done such incredible things for this country through their service in the armed forces.
Have a good weekend everyone, enjoy the sun tomorrow! 😎🌞🌻 and avoid any Sunday showers! 🌧️🌧️
