Lighting up Stratford Gardens 🎄✨
Residents came together to light up Stratford Gardens, decorating their homes, entering the festive light-up competition and taking home some well-earned prizes. The celebrations continued with a Christmas market created by residents, for residents, full of festive finds, friendly faces and plenty of holiday cheer.
We welcomed our new Stage 2 residents with a festive Christmas get-together filled with warm hellos, good cheer and easy conversation. A lovely way to celebrate new neighbours and the growing Stratford Gardens community.
Welcome home — and here’s to many more moments shared together.
On 17 December 2025, we officially opened the Stratford Gardens Wellness Centre — a space designed for everyday wellbeing and connection. Featuring a pool, sauna and fully equipped gym, it’s all about supporting an active, balanced lifestyle right at the heart of the community.
