Last Thursday Gillian joined housing association A2Dominion and local partners for a community event to support local residents ahead of the festive season.
A2Dominion organised the free session at the Swanfield Park Community Centre which provided the opportunity for members of the community to speak with their local representative and organisations about a range of matters, including finance and wellbeing.
Gillian held a drop-in session at the centre, while local councillors and staff from the Department for Work and Pensions were there to answer any queries.
The housing associations’ tenancy sustainment team provided help to those who may be struggling with their rent, West Sussex nurses carried out free blood pressure checks, while South Central Ambulance Service completed demonstrations on how to use a defibrillator and practice CPR effectively to help save lives.
Gillian said: “I was delighted to join A2Dominion and their partners today for this important advice surgery. “The community here in Swanfield Park is incredibly special and I am pleased to see so many organisations and agencies come together under one roof to provide them with support and guidance. It has also been a pleasure to meet so many constituents and see people making the most of the services on offer, whether that’s advice from our local ambulance team, blood pressure checks with the NHS nurses, or simply joining the team for a cup of team and a chat.”
