Easter Report

REPORT We started Easter with a great afternoon engaging with the residents at Roundhill Close. Thanks to Housing, SO18 Big Local, Wardens, Tenant Engagement, and our Community Engagement team for all their support. We all had a fun day with games, pizza, face painting and more. Whilst there, the residents also completed surveys and feedback on their homes. Later in the week we were in Holyrood, joining forces with Zoie Logic, Saints Kicks and our amazing Face Painter Ashley Archer. We were joined by over 100 local residents to watch The Ride show by Zoie Logic, have fun with the Junior Wardens and Saints Kicks, with the added bonus of getting some amazing faces painted. Thank you to everyone who made this such a great day.

Easter Report cont.. A great day at Wavell & MacArthur yesterday with our community Easter Egg Hunt. We were joined by 31 families including 42 children, 11 over 11's & 31 under 11's who went on the hunt for an Easter Egg. Thank you to The Wardens Lee & Justina and our Waste team who whilst we were having fun, cleared all the bulk from the blocks and the road sweeper did the rest. Thank you to SO18 Big Local who supplied the Easter Eggs. We had a great day on Saturday at Shirley Towers with our community art day. We engaged with upwards of 15 families consisting of 23 under 11’s and 12 teenagers. We had collage and painting for the younger ones and a Graffiti Workshop for the older ones. Everyone had a great day and produced some great work. This is an ongoing project with the Graffiti Artists back yesterday to continue with the artwork. Some of the Graffiti art will be painted out but has been photographed and will be made into boards to be framed and exhibited at Shirley Towers over the coming weeks. Thank you to all the residents who came and helped us brighten up the area. Keep an eye out over the coming weeks as this project is completed.

Easter Report cont.. We had a great day at the Marathon on Sunday with our wonderful Junior Wardens volunteers. The weather was lovely and with 10,000 runners it was really busy. The Junior Wardens have manned a Water Station for the past 6 years and are proud to support the runners and the Charities they support. Everyone did a fantastic job and I thank you all for your support.
