24th - 28th June 2024

What a week we’ve had! It’s been non-stop for our teams and it’s been brilliant to see so many of you.

Gateway2You sessions at Ribbleton Family Hub, St Mary Magdalene’s Parish Hall, and Preston Community Hub have seen us talking to tenants out in their communities about the issues that matter most to them – which this week has included allocations and Select Move queries.

Gateway runs 14 independent living schemes in total and two of them have enjoyed games sessions this week, with residents at The Courtyards enjoying the warm weather with ice creams and games of skittles and darts, while dominoes and bingo were the activities of choice for our residents at Bay Tree Farm.

At the final session of the Beanstalk Food and Cookery air fryer course, tenants made loaded potatoes and shortbread biscuits – delicious! We hope everyone who’s completed the course now leaves with lots of new cooking skills which they’ll be able to use with their brand-new air fryer.

On Thursday evening, we held an important focus group with tenants here at our Harbour House headquarters: the topic was ‘Community Safety’ and our Tenancy Services Manager delivered a ‘Spotlight Session’ to take an in-depth look at all the various issues and elements of community safety.

Finally, we made some crucial donations of school uniform to the Ascension Church School Uniform Store – and you’ll also see photos below in the collage of some fabulous Moor Nook gardens we spotted during our pop-up visits to tenants in the area.
