Community Bases & Gardens

We have seven community bases and one community garden across our housing stock.  Each one has its own unique feel and mixture of free events and activities delivered by Southside Housing Association, local residents and community groups.   All of our community bases have free Wifi.

Got an idea for an activity within one of our community bases?  Contact the community Initiatives Team who will help and support you with this.
