Riverside Housing Officer, Sue Sheehan, with tenants of the Lambeth estate.
Residents of a Lambeth estate enjoyed seasonal cheer and a new community Christmas tree, thanks to funding from landlord Riverside, which has 140 properties in the area.
Tenants of all ages from the Canterbury, Geoffrey and York
Close estate, sang Christmas Carols and enjoyed a children’s
performance of poems and songs from the 1940s – organised by
the Close Tenant’s Association.
Wendy Mason is Riverside’s community initiatives officer. She
said: “We want to encourage our vulnerable tenants to take
part in more community events. Some of them have few family members
close by, so it’s important that they make friends with their
neighbours.”
Tenants are planning a community Carol Service around the Christmas
tree in the lead up to the holidays.
