Final week to have your vote!

If you want a chance to vote at the September Annual General Meeting (AGM), you’ll need to sign up as a Community Gateway Member by 30 June.

Becoming a member gives you more influence, more involvement, and more say in the decisions that shape your home and community. This is your moment to make your voice count.

✅ Sign up before 30 June to secure your voting rights for this year’s AGM.
✅ Missed the deadline? Don’t worry - you can still join anytime after 30 June and continue to have your say, take part in activities, and help shape our services. You just won’t be able to vote at this year’s AGM.

Join today and make your voice part of the future!

Research shows that domestic abuse and violence against women and girls (VAWG) related offences increase around major football tournaments.

With the World Cup currently taking place, it’s an important time to start conversations, recognise warning signs and ensure support is available. Whether you are experiencing abuse, worried about someone else or concerned about your own behaviour, help is available.

For more domestic abuse advice and support head to: thrivehomes.org.uk/wellbeing/
