Summer Party Brings Joy to Imperial Apartments

26th July 2024

On Thursday 25 July, Caridon Property hosted a summer party for the residents of Imperial Apartments in Bristol. The event, attended by over 50 adults and children, marked the beginning of the summer holidays and was a heart-warming demonstration of community spirit, where families could join together to have fun and form supportive friendships. 

The summer party featured a children’s entertainer, an ice cream van, bubbles, children’s tattoos, snacks, and music, creating a fun and festive atmosphere for all attendees.

Caridon Property recognises the importance of building relationships within communities, especially for those who have moved to a new location and may not yet have a local support network. The summer party was an opportunity to foster social inclusion and create a sense of belonging among residents.

For many families living on low incomes, entertaining children throughout the school holidays can be financially challenging. Events like the summer party provide valuable experiences for families who might otherwise struggle to afford such activities. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Residents remarked, "The party was great. Brandy did a great job. Lovely to see so many children having fun. The entertainer was brilliant, and the ice cream van was a lovely touch. Thank you" and "It's great to see all the events that are being organised for Imperial Apartments."

Another parent shared, "Brilliant idea, my daughter loved it. Amazing that this is offered quite literally downstairs from where I live. This is truly amazing, and my daughter and I very much look forward to attending anything else in the future."

Looking ahead, Caridon Property will also be hosting another coffee morning on Thursday 8^th of August, celebrating in advance of Book Lovers Day. A collection of books will be available for residents to take, along with a reading corner for children. To ensure the most loved kids’ books are provided, Caridon Property is running a social media poll to gather ideas for children’s’ favourite books. Based on the results, Caridon has committed to purchasing a selection of these books for young readers at Imperial Apartments.

Brandusa Rotaru, Community Engagement Officer at Imperial Apartments in Bristol, commented, "Events like our summer party are crucial in building a strong, supportive community. Seeing the joy on the children's faces and hearing the positive feedback from parents reinforces our commitment to creating inclusive, engaging environments for all our residents. I really hope the positive response to this encourages more residents to get involved in the numerous events we have planned so we can foster long-lasting friendships and a supportive community."

Imperial Apartments provides secure, quality converted apartments with extensive amenities, including a gym, co-working spaces, a well-equipped soft play area, and an outdoor playground. Additionally, at no extra charge, tenants are supported by a community engagement officer who arranges a host of events and refers residents to local service for support such as mental health, employment and training. This investment in people is at the heart of Caridon's mission of “making lives better”.
