This week, Hull will celebrate Refugee Week 2026 with a series of events in the city. Taking place from 15 to 21 June, this year’s Refugee Week theme is courage, and marks 75 years since the landmark Refugee Convention agreement, which affirmed that those forced to flee deserve protection, dignity and hope. #RefugeeWeek @RefugeeWeek Find out more and see the full list of events here 👇 news.hull.gov.uk/28/05/2026/…

Young people from Orchard Park unleashed their creative talents at the weekend when the Beats Bus @bus_hull paid a visit.

Our Neighbourhood Nuisance Team has signed up to the ASB Help Pledge, which encourages all agencies involved in the ASB Case Review process to embed best practice into their policy and procedures. ASB Help, a registered national charity, advises organisations working with communities affected by anti-social behaviour. Its mission is to make sure that when residents ask for anti-social behaviour complaints to be reviewed, they are supported in the same way, wherever they are in the country. The signing took place at the Guildhall in May when Angela Denison of ASB Help presented a certificate to Tracy Harsley, the Council’s Assistant Director for Citysafe.

Council tenants in Hull have been helping to shape housing services for 22 years – working as volunteers to ensure residents’ voices are heard. This Volunteers’ Week, running from Monday 1 to Sunday 7 June, we’ve been celebrating the vital contribution our volunteers make. Tenant representatives are from all age groups and many backgrounds, with a variety of skills and experience. Find out more about what they do, how they work, and why they enjoy being involved behind the scenes at the council. news.hull.gov.uk/housing/new…

What’s the point in volunteering? Well, for Craig, a member of the Hull Tenants’ Forum, the point is to work with others to improve housing services in Hull. And, he says, it’s good for mental health, too. This Volunteers’ Week (1-7 June) we’re putting the spotlight on the tenant and resident volunteers who share their insights, ideas and opinions with the Neighbourhoods & Housing team at Hull City Council. #VolunteersWeek youtu.be/5Y0I3RJrM9g?si=G609…

As part of the “Member Spotlight” at today’s @tpasengland North East Regional Event, two volunteers have shared some of the work they have been carrying out within their communities and for the wider tenant population. Sana, Chair of the Women’s Voice TARA, shared how the group started with 6 members, and they now have over 60 ladies attend their regular sessions. Sana also shared how the group have arranged several awareness sessions for their members, covering Domestic Abuse, Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, and the High-Rise Building Safety Policy. We then heard from Craig, Chair of the Multi Storey Living Group, who talked about how the group receives regular updates on Building Safety and Resident Engagement, how Block Champions carry out inspections on communal areas within high and low-rise flats, and how the group have been involved in the review of the Building Cleaning Service Level Agreement.
