🎆 One week to go until Bonfire Night…

We want all our tenants to enjoy Bonfire Night safely.

The safest way is to go to an organised display.

If you’re planning a bonfire at home, remember to:
- Keep it away from buildings, vehicles, trees, and hedges
- Never leave it alone and put it out completely when you've finished
- Never use flammable liquids to start a fire or throw fireworks onto a bonfire
- Be considerate of your neighbours

🏡 Every year, tens of thousands of people across Scotland experience homelessness through no fault of their own.

Following a relationship breakdown, Tammy spent five months sleeping in her car. "It was heart breaking," she said. What kept her spirits up were the sunsets at the end of each evening, a reminder that there was light at the end of the tunnel.

Then the news came through of a house from Wheatley Homes South. "It was surreal," Tammy says. "I had to read the email again, because I didn't believe something good could happen."

Tammy describes the support from the team as phenomenal, "when I came in, it felt like I'd been given the world."

Now, Tammy's focus is on her children. "I just want them to come home every day and feel loved and warn, which is nothing more than they deserve"

"They've come out on top, and so have I."

The outside play area at the Learning Centre at Penninghame Primary School had been long neglected and needed some care.

Our Neighbourhood Environmental Team in Newton Stewart stepped in to carry out improvement works including weeding, edging and restoring a sandpit.

Thanks to their efforts, the play area has been transformed into a safer and more welcoming environment for the children 💛
