How we engage a new community

At Oakham Heights we used our Community Mobiliser to help people moving onto the development to meet and get to know their neighbours.

We used a range of communication methods, social media and informal newsletters suitable for a wide age range, to engage with people and to organise both face-to-face and non face-to-face activities.

As the number of homeowners increases on a development we can help people understand and develop ideas around what it is they want to do with their community.

Typical events that we have undertaken include:

• Coffee Mornings
• Mum and toddler get togethers
• Neighbourhood help for gardening
• Neighbourhood watch
• Providing a directory supporting residents businesses
• Quiz nights
• Chinese and Indian nights
• Walking and running groups

Every new development is a blank canvas with endless possibilities for social interaction to help build a thriving community where people love living.
