On Saturday 2 November, residents and staff came together for our community day in Wandle Fields.
Thank you to all our residents who braved the chilly weather to enjoy a fun filled afternoon, including facepainting and jerk chicken.
Our residents got to meet with our staff to discuss any issues they may have, with staff also attending residents’ homes to investigate any issue further. This was a great opportunity for staff to introduce themselves, whilst also ensuring any issue a resident raised was logged so we could begin to resolve any queries or concerns they had.
At the community day some of our residents pointed us in the direction of one property, in which we were unaware the resident was vulnerable and in need of repairs within her home. Thanks to the kindness of the local community who informed us of her situation, we were able to visit the resident to investigate the concern further and now arrangements are under way to carry out much needed repairs within her home.
The community day was a great success, and we will be hosting another event at Wandle Fields next year in the summer months. In the meantime, we will continue to work with our residents at Wandle Fields and we will be arranging community meetings with them listen to their thoughts and ideas to create a stronger relationship and space for everyone to enjoy.
