Grainger House Christmas Drop In Seo

Residents enjoyed a community drop-in session hosted by local Neighbourhood Officer, Marcelo

The event, at Grainger House, gave residents the opportunity to catch up with neighbours, talk to us about what matters most to them, ask questions and connect with our teams.

Chichester City Council’s community wardens, Wellbeing and Recycling teams also came along to offer helpful advice. 

Residents enjoyed a quiz, bench painting and recycling activities. With Christmas hats, festive touches and friendly faces, the event reflected the spirit of the season.

Speaking about the event, Marcelo, said: “Christmas can be a busy and sometimes challenging time, so it was important to create a space that felt friendly and welcoming.

"The drop-in gave us a chance to connect, listen and share some festive cheer while supporting our residents and the local neighbourhood.”
