Community Gateway Association (CGA) tenants are encouraged to have their say in a campaign called The Big Conversation.

In response to rising costs, Preston’s largest social landlord will have to change some of its services to
keep rents affordable, but before it does, it wants to hear what’s most important to its customers.

The campaign started this week on Wednesday 12 October, and consists of face to face community events and online feedback opportunities.

There will be free activities for children, transport, refreshments, as well as prize giveaways for everyone who comes along to an event.

Below is a list of the event details from 6pm to 8pm:

Thursday 13 October – Sahara in Preston

Keeping you safe – Look at the way we manage our tenancies and communities to
keep you feeling safe in your home and local area.

Monday 17 October – Moor Nook Community Centre

Homes and neighbourhoods – Give us your views on our repairs, investment and
communal maintenance services.

Tuesday 18 October – Farringdon Park Community Centre

Tenancy Support – The Purple Pantry, welfare benefits advice, employment and
skills, and outreach and support. Which support is most important to you?

Wednesday 19 October – Bay Tree Farm

Communications – Look at all of our marketing and communication activities and
how we share information with you. How do you like to be kept up-to-date?

Thursday 20 October – Catherine Beckett Community Centre

Community Engagement – We deliver events and activities throughout the year in
our communities to support you and listen to your views. Do these meet your
needs?

The final event will take place on Tuesday 25 October, at CGA in Ashton-on-Ribble, from 10.30am to 2.30pm.

This full day event will look at all the feedback that has been received and let you have your say on any of the services mentioned above.

There will also be opportunities to have your say available online throughout October on CGA’s Engagement Portal.
