Warwick Road South tenant Darya and her daughter with their new rug

Our Housing Management and Support Team took the popular rug giveaway on the road, giving tenants at Warwick Road South the chance to meet Southway staff and pick up a free rug for their new home. The event was organised to show that Warwick Road South can be a thriving, inclusive community where residents can feel safe, secure, connected and valued from day one. We run regular rug giveaways as part of our Cosy Mondays events at our office in Didsbury. As well as giving away free rugs, our Advice and Community Involvement teams were also there to make sure residents could easily access support, opportunities, and social networks. Our Employment Team showed what career support they can provide for tenants, including help deciding what they want to do for work, improving their CVs, and guidance on preparing for job interviews. The whole event brought residents together in a positive, informal way, making sure they feel supported as part of a wider neighbourhood.
