Our Red Kite Roadshow was a huge success on Wednesday 5th August, with 185 local residents stopping by to find out more about the support and services available in their community.
The event brought together Red Kite tenants, local residents, partner organisations and Red Kite colleagues for an enjoyable afternoon packed with activities, information and meaningful conversations.
Visitors had the chance to chat with our teams about a range of topics, ask questions, share feedback and learn more about the work we do. The roadshow also provided an opportunity to connect people with local services and support available in the area.
There was plenty to keep families entertained throughout the day. Children enjoyed a free bouncy castle and face painting, while visitors of all ages were treated to free ice creams, fans, stickers and keyrings.
Partner organisations also attended to offer advice, information and support, including:
- Thames Valley Police
- Women's Aid
- Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Service
- Maximus
- Helping Hand (Bucks Council)
- Bucks Council Antisocial Behaviour Team
- Twenty11.
The event had a great atmosphere and gave us a valuable opportunity to meet tenants, build relationships and hear directly from the people who use our services. We were able to introduce our new Tenant Question Time sessions, speak to tenants about getting involved as members ahead of our Annual General Meeting, and answer questions about the support and services available from us.
Laura King, Tenant Engagement Manager, said:
“It was fantastic to see so many people come along and take part in the Roadshow. Events like this give us the chance to have meaningful conversations with residents, understand what's important to them and help connect them with the support available in their community."
