Riverside Scotland Community Events Coming to Dumfries, Kilwinning and Drongan

Riverside news News article

We're looking forward to welcoming customers to our upcoming Riverside Scotland community events this October and wanted to remind everyone of the dates after learning that some postal invitations may have been delayed.

These free events are a great opportunity to meet Riverside colleagues, enjoy some refreshments and activities, and tell us what matters most to you and your community.

Thank You, Irvine!


Our first community event took place in Irvine on 5 October, and we'd like to thank everyone who came along. It was fantastic to speak with customers, hear your feedback and discuss ideas for future services and neighbourhood improvements.

The first of our Riverside bears, Buddy is off to its new home in Irvine!


What's Happening at the Events?

Visitors can enjoy a range of free activities and treats, including:

  • Refreshments, cupcakes, sweets and other treats
  • Riverside giveaways
  • A £100 prize draw for customers who complete our pre-rent consultation survey
  • A chance to win a jar of sweets by guessing how many sweets are inside
  • Our popular "Guess the Teddy's Name" competition, with the winning bear up for grabs

These events are an opportunity for customers to share their views on:

  • Future rent proposals

  • Community events and activities
  • Neighbourhood improvements

You can also find out more about customer groups, Housing Perks discounts, the MyRiverside app and our new website.


Meet the Team

Representatives from Riverside Scotland, including colleagues from our Affordability and Asset teams, Tenant Partners and contractors, will be attending and available to answer your questions.

Children are very welcome and encouraged to come along and share their ideas too. We want to hear from customers of all ages, and your feedback helps shape the services and communities that matter most.
