HomeBuy Show Success

The HomeBuy Show held at The Rose Bowl in Southampton attracted well over 400 prospective buyers through the doors, despite the wonderful weather that shone on the South of England. Visitors who were tempted out of the sun, benefitted from free financial and legal advice as well as discovering which schemes they could qualify for.

Amesbury enjoys a feast of fun

In close collaboration with Amesbury Town Council and various local organisations, Swaythling Housing was delighted with the success of the partnership's Big Lunch held on Sunday 18th July in the gardens of Bowman Centre, Archers Gate in Amesbury. Part of the Eden Project, the Big Lunch is a national campaign to encourage neighbourhoods throughout the country to enjoy lunch and entertaining activities together.

Something for all appetites

As part of the Eden Project's national 'Big Lunch' campaign, Swaythling Housing ran a hugely successful Big Lunch at Weston Shore on Sunday 18th July. Over two hundred people brought along a picnic on a very sunny afternoon and were treated to an array of activities, including soothing jazz by Southampton band, Frayed Knot, who provided their entertainment for free.

Among the guests was Cllr Carol Cunio, Mayor of Southampton, who supported the event and talked to many local residents. Children were able to hone their football skills using the expertise of two coaches from Eastleigh Football Club. Younger children enjoyed exploring a fire engine, as well as bouncing on the inflatables and playing with balloons.

Room for community in Mansbridge

Swaythling Housing Society, part of Radian, has officially opened a community facility for Mansbridge residents to hold activities within the neighbourhood. The facility is also available for private hire.

Previously residents have had access to local activities through community groups such as the Mansbridge Residents' Association (MRA), but the opening of this dedicated facility continues the delivery of Swaythling Housing's promise to improve services and the rights of local residents.
