On Friday 13 June, the Three Meadows estate in Haverfordwest came to life with the sounds of laughter, the bounce of inflatable fun, and the mouth-watering smell of wood-fired pizza.
The event, organised by ateb, brought together around 50 customers and their families for an afternoon of food, fun, and friendly faces. It was our way of saying thank you, not just for the efforts residents have made to improve waste management in the area, but for their ongoing contribution to making Three Meadows a better place to live.
There was plenty for everyone to enjoy, with children making the most of the bouncy castle and a steady flow of delicious pizza, freshly made by Pembrokeshire Woodfired Pizza.
We were also joined by some of our team from across ateb. Andrew Jenkins, our Community Welfare Coordinator, came along with Dot.e – our mobile digital hub – offering free digital support, guidance and advice to anyone who needed it.
Adding to the community spirit, local Police Community Support Officers dropped in to show their support. Children had the chance to chat with them, try on police hats, and learn a little more about the work they do in the area.
“It’s about building relationships”
Housing Solutions Team Leader, Amy Williams, explained why these events matter:
“To build a relationship with ateb and our customers — that’s what today is about. Clayton is new to the patch, so it’s important for people to recognise him, and say hello when they see him walking down the street.
We do have challenges in the area, including anti-social behaviour, so this is a way of giving back to the people who are doing their bit, being good neighbours and helping create a better place to live.
We’re seeing families from different households chatting, kids playing together, that’s the outcome we want. It’s community cohesion in action.”
“It shows we care”
Amy also reflected on the wider impact of community events like this:
“It’s also about the team, getting out into our communities, understanding the issues, and really getting to know our customers. The conversations we’re having out here – with customers and each other – are so valuable.
Someone said to me today, ‘What difference does this make?’ Well, for the kids here, this is how they’ll remember ateb, not as the people chasing rent or arranging repairs, but as the people who brought the bouncy castle and pizza.
That matters. It shows we care. It shows that our customers – today’s and tomorrow’s – are at the heart of everything we do.”
Local resident Abby, who has lived in Three Meadows since it was built, came along with her children.
“I really enjoy living here. I’ve got three kids and they’re happy. My family live next door, so we’ve got great support around us. The event today has been brilliant, the kids have loved it. They’ve been out playing with other children they don’t usually see, and the pizza went down a treat!”
We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who came along and made the day such a success, from the customers who brought the community spirit, to the teams who helped make it happen.
We’re proud to be part of this community, and we’re looking forward to hosting more events like this in the future, building stronger relationships, one neighbourhood at a time.
