Programme Structure

1. Get to Know Your Neighbours Event

In July 2025, Nyne Park hosted its first Coffee Morning, drawing between 70 and 100 neighbours to the estate’s large green space. Families, young professionals, and long-time locals came together, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Even before the coffee van arrived, residents stepped in to help with set-up, and conversations quickly turned to ideas for volunteering, community building, and forming a Residents’ Association.

The event revealed the many different interests already present in the estate—from the organised dog-walking group to young teens hoping to meet more friends. A highlight came from a recently divorced mother who attended with her adult son: “It’s a new start for both of us! We love our new place, but we would have loved a garden. It would be great to start a community garden—my son would love it!”

With so much enthusiasm for shaping the neighbourhood, the Coffee Morning marked a strong beginning for Nyne Park, sparking connections and setting the stage for more resident-led initiatives in the months ahead.
