We’re back in your local area this summer with our community events. Pop down for free family-friendly fun featuring games and activities for you and your loved ones to enjoy.

This year, we’ve got nine events planned right on your doorstep. At each one, you can expect free entertainment and activities – including bouncy castles, plant stalls, and face-painting.  

Our events are designed to provide an afternoon of fun for the whole family – we’ll keep your little ones entertained whilst you enjoy and relax outdoors without having to go far.

Our events are also perfect if you’re looking to connect with your community. Pop down to meet new neighbours or to chat to our friendly colleagues about anything that may be on your mind – such as issues with your tenancy or neighbourhood, our Employment and Skills service, or help with money. Speaking to us in person is a great way to learn more about what support is available to you.
