I hope you enjoyed your summer break and managed to join us on some of our fantastic trips. Of course, we’ll be running some more in the October half term, so keep an eye out on page 4 and our social media channels for more information.
Just because summer has come to an end doesn’t mean the fun has to stop! Turn to page 6 to hear from the team of Newcastle City Council behind the “On The Square” events, and find out what they have planned for the autumn and winter seasons.
As the days become shorter and nights longer, keeping our customers safe is our top priority.
If you see or experience any anti-social behaviour, please report it. You can do so by calling 0800 533 5442. If what you are experiencing is an emergency or there is immediate risk, please call 999.
Along with one of our community partners, we’ve been able to secure £338,000 funding to transform some of the Hobby Rooms on the estate. You can read more about the project, and what the Hobby Rooms will be used for on page 14.
As we move closer to winter and the festive season, it’s important to remember to keep on top of our finances. Paying your rent couldn’t be easier. Turn to page 8 to see all the different ways you can pay yours - stress and hassle free.
At Karbon, we always strive to provide you with the best service possible. We recognise that we don’t always do this and have implemented a “you said, we did” approach to make real, impactful change. Turn to page 11 to find out more.
If you can, give us a follow on Facebook @bykercommunitytrust where we post regular updates about what’s happening on the estate.
I hope you have a wonderful autumn and families have a great half term.
