Summer Housing Open Day

Welcome to the Summer Housing Open Day!

Join us on Saturday 6th September 2025 for the first Open Day held in summer. It will be held at the Grovehill Adventure Playground between 11am - 4pm.

At this family friendly event, kindly sponsored by Bugler and Cardo, you will be able to meet and talk to teams from our Housing service. They will be on hand to tell you about the support we can offer, but also to answer and questions you might have and to get feedback on how we are doing.
