On Saturday 22 June 2024, the Mansfield Park Street Festival brought the community spirit back to Partick.
The event was organised by WestFest, with support from PHA. There was live music, street play, circus performers, face painters, a pop-up recording studio, workshops and a range community group stall holders promoting their amazing free services and activities.
PHA had its own stall there on the day, right in the heart of the action. We were there to let tenants know about the variety of ways you can get involved with your Housing Association! These include estate walkabouts, share membership, focus groups and stock tours. We also let people know about the referral services we offer through a variety of partner organisations, these services include digital inclusion classes, mental health support, health & wellbeing, energy advice, money advice, employability and more. If you would like to find out more about any of the above, please call 0141 357 3773 or email info@partickha.org.co.uk
There was a strong community presence there on the day with a number of local groups and organisations holding stalls. Each stall had opportunities to get involved with various workshops and activities for all the family, including our own “Draw Your Dream House” competition and we had over 30 entries from budding young designers all vying to win a £20 voucher for Smyth’s toys. Winner to be announced soon!
The day was a huge success and one of our best attended so far. One attendee on Facebook commented, “Great turnout, loads of things to see and do”
