We're listening

At Peabody, celebrating diversity is at the heart of our values . We want to connect with residents of all backgrounds to share in cultural occasions together.  

This year, Hanukkah will be celebrated from 25 December 2024 – 2 January 2025, following the Hebrew lunar calendar. We’re inviting you to join us for an early celebration of Hanukkah  as part of our celebrating diversity series. All are welcome!

📆  Tuesday 17 December 2024

🕚  6-7.30pm

 📍  Peabody, 45 Westminster Bridge Road, London, SE1 7JB

🚇 Closest Underground stations are Lambeth North (Bakerloo line), Waterloo (Bakerloo, Jubilee & Northern lines) and Elephant & Castle (Bakerloo & Northern lines)

What to expect on the night

• Residents and Peabody colleagues will come together to celebrate Hanukkah
• We’ll hear from Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg about the spirit of Hanukkah, and there’ll be time for questions and reflection.
• You’ll have a chance to learn more about how you can shape our work through feedback and involvement.
• We’ll enjoy delicious kosher canapes, drinks and traditional Hanukkah treats like doughnuts

Last year, we formed a Resident Co-Design Action Group, who designed a new approach to the way we work with you. 

One of the recommendations the Group made was that we should have a varied engagement offer, including ways for people to influence the way we work at a local level.

We’re already doing this in our North East London region through a Regional Forum, and we want to set something similar up in our North West London region. This is something that you seemed really keen on when you came to see us at our local engagement event in September.

 If you'd like to be involved in helping us shape a residents' Forum in North West London, you can sign up here! We'll contact you after Christmas to let you know where and when we'll be meeting to talk to you about how the Forum will work.

We do need to take a bit of personal information from you to keep you in the loop. Here's where you can find out more about how we keep your data safe.

To make sure we’re delivering the best local services we can, we want to understand what we’re doing well, and what we need to improve where you live.

We’ll be at The Barn in Oxford on Saturday 18 January 2025, from 12:30-3:30pm, and we’d love you to come along and talk to us!

You’ll be able to:

• Meet some of the local colleagues who deliver services in your area
• Report repairs and other issues, and
• Give us your feedback on how we’re performing

All while enjoying a light lunch, and the chance to meet other Peabody residents who live nearby.

Everything you tell us on the day will go into a local action plan that will help us get better, and we’ll keep everyone who comes to the event in the loop about what we’re doing differently afterwards.

Look forward to seeing you there,

Peabody Resident Engagement Team

Peabody Resident Engagement team

We've had a fantastic response to our event at the Hugh Cubitt Centre on 9 December - so many people want to come and talk to us that we're already hugely over subscribed!

We're planning on coming back to the area in Spring 2024. So, if you'd like to be among the first to know about our next event in the area, sign up here!

We’re working hard to provide the best service we can and need to know what matters to you.

Join us on Saturday 9 December, 11am - 2pm, at the Hugh Cubitt Centre, 48 Collier St, London N1 9QZ 

Share what it’s like to live in your area. Here's where to find the Hugh Cubitt Centre

Last year, we formed a Co-Design Action Group, who designed a new approach to the way we work with you.

One of the recommendations the Group made was that we should have a varied engagement offer, including ways for people to influence the way we work at a local level.

We’re already doing this in our North East London region through a Regional Forum, and we want to set something similar up outside of London. But we know that will be a challenge because our homes are more spread out and it’s harder to bring people together as a result.

This is where we need your help.

We’re holding a session on Tuesday 18 September at our offices at 89 King Street, Cambridge, CB1 1LD from 6pm to 7.30pm. We’d love it if you were able to come along and talk to us. The things we really want to try and work out are:

• What should a regional forum outside of London do? How could a forum like this help you?
• How often should a group like this meet, where and how?
• What do we need to do to make sure that what you discuss is fed back and considered as part of our wider programme of engagement work
  
  

Does this sound like your sort of thing? 

If you’d like to come along to our session on 18 September, all you need to do is fill in this short form

Places are limited, so if you’d like to come along please do let us know as soon as you can.

We do need to take a bit of personal information from you to keep you in the loop. Here's where you can find out more about how we keep your data safe.

Last year, you filled in our survey and told us a bit about your financial situation and how you’re feeling about the cost of living crisis.

You told us that you’d be interested in talking to us a bit more about this, so we’ve organised a focus group.

Here’s what you need to know

📅 Tuesday 21 January 2025

🕔 6pm – 7.30pm

📍   Peabody, 45 Westminster Bridge Road, London SE1 7JB

🚇 Closest Underground stations are Lambeth North (Bakerloo) , Waterloo (Bakerloo, Jubilee, Northern, Waterloo & City) , and Elephant and Castle (Northern and Bakerloo)

Here’s why we’ve organised the session

The Peabody Index is a research study we run every year to understand how you’re feeling about your finances, and any particular struggles you’re facing. 

This helps us a lot when we’re thinking about what services we can offer, and how we talk to the local and national government about the impact policy change is really having.

At this session we’d like to gather more thoughts from you about what we can do with the findings this time around.  

Here’s what we’ll be talking about

• Any changes that have been made in recent years that have helped your household finances, or made things more difficult
• What you’d like to see the government do in the future 
• What Peabody could do to help residents who are struggling financially

Places are limited, so if you’d like to come along to our session on 21 January, please do let us know as soon as you can by filling in this short form. You'll need to sign up before 12pm on Friday 17 January 2025.

Last year, we formed a Resident Co-Design Action Group, who designed a new approach to the way we work with you. 

One of the recommendations the Group made was that we should have a varied engagement offer, including ways for people to influence the way we work at a local level.

We’re already doing this in our North East London region, and we’re in the process of setting something similar up in our South London region. 

But we want to be ambitious and aim to have a forum in each of our regions by the end of March next year. We’ve found the forum model to be a great way for regional leaders to get to grips with what matters most to people who live in their area.

This is where we need your help.

We know that you don’t experience our services in quite the same way as many of our residents in London do, and that we need to do things differently outside of London to make the most difference.

We're looking to have an open, future-focussed conversation about how we might make a group like this work for you, what it might do, and how we deal with the geographical challenge of getting people involved over such a large patch. 

We know that you might have some concerns about the way we deliver services at the moment and that might be your main reason for coming along. That’s OK, we’ll take some details from you if you sign up and help you deal with those issues. But we want to be clear at the outset that we’ll do that offline; they won’t be the focus of the meeting.

We’re planning to meet on Zoom, on Wednesday 6 November, from 6pm to 8pm. We’ll confirm the details to everyone who signs up to come along.

Places are limited, so if you’d like to come along to our session on 6 November, please do let us know as soon as you can by filling in this short form.

We got in touch with residents recently but couldn’t find a time where people were able to join us.
