Residents' Fair a Roaring Success – Thanks to Residents!
Tower Hamlets Homes’
employees were thrilled to meet over 250 residents at their first
ever Resident Fair. Feedback given by residents on the day
was that the event was a resounding success.
Resident Stephen Morgan said: “It was very
good, I couldn’t fault it. There was a good selection of
staff who were keen to answer questions. The event was very
professional – it reminded me of a very good trade fair” .
The day also exceeded the expectations of
Tower Hamlets Homes staff members’, largely because of the
residents making the day so fun.
Chief Executive Gavin Cansfield said: “The
event definitely had a great vibe. The residents who came were
genuinely interested in what we could do for them and we were
equally keen to tell them about us. I think everyone had something
positive to say about improvements – not that we have got
everything right yet but definitely a step forwards. I thought our
staff did an excellent job – everyone made a real effort and that’s
what make the difference.”
The event also served as an informal launch
for two new Tower Hamlets Homes’ initiatives, SeeMyData and the You Make
a Difference Fund.
Resident Delali Walter said “I’d like to see
more of these events happening” and that’s just what Tower hamlets
plans to do. We already have a Residents Conference booked
for 3rd October at York Hall, and there will be plenty of other
neighbourhood based events over the summer. We hope that many
of you who came to the residents fair in May will come and see us
again. And for those of you who missed out this time – we
hope this will spark your interest.
