CRF<br />
Quizzes,<br />
crafts and<br />
conversation<br />
Tuesday 24th May was the ‘Meet the CRF’ taster event and tenants came along to<br />
take part in an afternoon of quizzes, crafts and conversation. We joined in the fun<br />
and caught up with Eunice Clarkson, Chair of the Connect Residents Federation (CRF).<br />
Everybody has been having<br />
a really good time. I’ve been<br />
telling the new tenants all about<br />
our thriving communities. A lot of<br />
people were especially impressed<br />
with the transport Connect<br />
provided to and from the event.<br />
The aim of the<br />
event today is<br />
to promote the CRF<br />
and hopefully gain new<br />
members. We want to<br />
let tenants know about<br />
the strong group that<br />
we have, that is run for<br />
tenants by tenants.<br />
Everyone is welcome to join,<br />
but we aimed this event at<br />
new tenants especially, an<br />
event like this can really show<br />
what the CRF is all about.<br />
One of the benefits of these<br />
meetings is that it promotes<br />
and creates new friendships<br />
and can combat loneliness by<br />
helping people get out of their<br />
house and mingle with the<br />
friendly CRF members. ‘Meet<br />
the CRF’ is an annual event and<br />
we’ll continue with it, especially<br />
after the success of today.<br />
Come! Try! Enjoy! Just like the<br />
people here did today.<br />
