Over 3 000 Visitors
Our exhibition which launched on Thursday 28 May has attracted over 3,000 visitors in its first two weeks of opening.
The exhibition which is open to the public, profiles social housing in Inverclyde across the generations and recognises River Clyde Homes' six Real Community Heroes.
Roy Steele, chair of River Clyde Homes, said: "We are delighted that the exhibition has been such a success to date. The key aim of 'Up Close' is to engage with tenants and the local community and the footfall figures in the first few days certainly seem to suggest this is happening.
"We have had really positive feedback from everyone attending and together with the wealth of material people are uploading to the interactive website the exhibition is really getting people talking about the past, present and future of Inverclyde.”
The free exhibition includes video footage, photographs, memories, artefacts and material from school pupils on how past generations lived. It will run in Greenock's Oak Mall for 10 weeks and is open each Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The River Clyde Homes 'Up Close' campaign is supported by Riverside Inverclyde, Wates Living Space, Connaught Partnerships, Lovell, Morris & Spottiswood in association with Impact Arts, Turner & Townsend, SFHA, Hypostyle Architects, Anderson Bell Christie and the Greenock Telegraph.
