On Thursday, 24th October, residents of Brunswick and other members of the community, were invited to a showcase event to mark 10-years of regeneration of the neighbourhood, which included the launch of a film produced in their honour.
The film includes interviews with customers who talk about their experiences of living or working throughout the works during the past decade, and is a mixture of people born in Brunswick and also those new to the area.
Thank you to everyone who came along to help us celebrate on the day, but in case you missed it, you can see our Ten-Year Celebration Film here:
The event got off to a flying start with visitors welcomed with afternoon tea and scones plus snacks for the little ones in the Brunswick Village Bistro. There was a meet and greet opportunity with some of our key partners, such as Manchester Young Community Champions, Works and Skills Groups and Age UK Manchester to name a few. Everyone then moved on through to the Community Space to watch the film which was set up in true cinema style complete with popcorn and pick ‘n’ mix sweets. Here’s a selection of images from the event.
All attendees were entered into a prize draw, and the winners who each win a £20 shopping voucher are:
- Mr Mohamed of Beamish Close
- Ms Ellison of Brunswick Street
- Mr Amadi of Bramwell Drive
S4B Neighbourhood and PFI Manager, Ross Hemmings, said: “Thank you so much to everyone who came along to make this a day to remember. We had such a fantastic turn-out, we would not have asked for more.
“The fact people have shown such genuine interest is a true testament to the hard work that has gone into developing the Brunswick neighbourhood into what it is today: a wonderful place with so much opportunity and true community spirit.
“Customers are at the heart of all we do, so a huge thank you to everyone involved. We need to express an extra special thank you to the residents and partners who took part in the film, we could not have done it without you. Thanks also to the masterplan Architects Buttress, who allowed us to include clips of the films they made with residents this year too. A great team effort with fantastic results, so thank you everyone”.
In January, we embarked on a series on fun events and activities to celebrate achievements of the past ten years and to thank the people of Brunswick for the patience and understanding while we carried out the major works to transform the neighbourhood. All of this is detailed in our special film.
Look out for more activities as they happen during 2024 and not forgetting our customer photography competition. There’s still time to enter to be in with the chance of winning a prize and the opportunity to be featured in our 2025 calendar.
Below are some of the other films we have produced:
