Another great Neighbourhood Night event

Following our first Neighbourhood Night in Islington in April, we were pleased to bring the second event in the series to Hackney on Wednesday, 14 May.

If you missed the first two, there's another one tomorrow on Thursday, 28 May in Waltham Forest.

What are Neighbourhood Nights?

Neighbourhood Nights offer a valuable opportunity for residents to connect with staff face-to-face in a relaxed, welcoming space. Whether you have a question about your home, need support, or simply want to share your views, these sessions are a chance to have open conversations as well as connect with others in your community.

What happened in Hackney?

We had a fantastic turnout at our Hackney event, with 32 of you joining us. The event took place at Haggerston Community Centre, close to many of our Hackney homes, meaning some residents were able to walk over.

It was lovely to see families attend too! Children were kept entertained with colouring activities, giving parents the chance to speak with staff and raise any questions or concerns.

Staff from across different teams were on hand throughout the evening. Several residents came to speak with Amelia, our Resident Liaison Officer, about choosing colours for their doors, giving them the chance to get involved in decisions about their homes.

Amelia told us:

"We had a great time at the Neighbourhood Night, speaking with residents about the door programme and helping them choose the right option for their homes. It’s a great way to build strong connections, and I really enjoyed the evening."

What residents told us

Here’s what some residents said about the evening:

"I was able to speak to the people I needed and raise all my concerns. The activities for children and supportive staff were really good." 

“It's great when people come together to talk about their concerns and share ideas. Keep it up.”

Join us at our next Neighbourhood Night

Our final Neighbourhood Night of the summer is in Waltham Forest tomorrow – Thursday, 28 May.

We’ll be at William Morris Community Centre, 6–8 Greenleaf Rd, London E17 6QQ, from 5.30pm until 7.30pm.

Food and refreshments available and you’re very welcome to simply turn up on the evening for a chat and a bit to eat.

We look forward to seeing you and continuing the conversation.
