December 2021

This was a community engagement event. First of it kind, to open up the Atrium to use it as a community centre rather than as just a space. We wanted to see what local residents wanted to happen in the centre. By providing food & refreshments and offering cooking demonstrations, we encourage local residents to engage with each other and bring ideas about what that they want to happen in their community, to move forward with a community spirit.
