If you see our trademark green and white marquee around Thames Valley, it's a sure sign that one of our renowned community events is in progress!
Whether it's a low key event run for residents to celebrate a new community garden, or a fun-filled day for all the family, we try to make our events a real chance for local communities to celebrate regeneration projects they've been involved in.
You can see a list of our upcoming events here, together with a short description of what will be on offer and the project it's related to. So if there's one near you why not come on down and make the most of your area?
