Ready to kick off with PA?
The world is gearing up for this year's World Cup as FIFA gears up for a totally unique approach – the first to include 48 teams instead of 32, and the first to be hosted across three nations: Mexico, Canada and the United States.
Although many of the matches will be aired just a bit too late for our side of the pond to watch, we’ve still put together a campaign for you themed around the World Cup and how it relates to matters important to you: like antisocial behaviour, safeguarding, and tackling littering and bulk rubbish.
Keep checking back on this page to see what we cover as the campaign progresses from Monday 25 May – Friday 10 July!
Week One: Getting loud
-
It's a red card to noise nuisance!
Because of the time difference this World Cup, many of the matches will be taking place in the early hours of the morning.
As we kick off our World Cup promotions we're bringing you a refresh on noise nuisance: what it is, when to report it and how PA can support you if you’re dealing with it.
Residents should be considerate that any celebrations don’t cause excessive noise, but we also encourage trying to maintain a level of tolerance for these situations as it is not something our ASB team will investigate.

Week Two: Mental and physical wellbeing benefits of football
Week Three: Tackling domestic abuse
We'll be posting to raise awareness of rises in domestic violence during the World Cup, including: what it is, how to spot the signs in victims and perpetrators, and how PA supports victims – along with other resources we signpost to.

Week Four: Kickoff week
We'll give some quickfire reminders on kickoff day about how to be a good neighbour and make sure your World Cup celebrations are going down responsibly.
Week Five: Being a good sport against hate crime
We'll be raising awareness of the risk of hate crime, including: classifying the types, what to look out for and how to safely stand up for your neighbours if you think something's wrong, and how PA can step in to support you if you feel unsafe.

Week Six: Antisocial Behaviour Awareness Week tie-in
To link in with Antisocial Behaviour Awareness Week happening from Monday 29 June to Sunday 5 July and the launch of our campaign aiming to tackle bulk rubbish, we'll be recapping the antisocial behaviour and safeguarding topics we've covered throughout the campaign.
We'll also reflect on the roadmap we have set out in our Corporate Plan to improve on our Tenant Satisfaction scores around listening to your views, handling antisocial behaviour and keeping your communal areas clean and well-maintained.

Week Seven: Food from around the world
We'll be showcasing some local dishes from teams playing matches this week, with links back to some past events we've held at our Extra Care schemes around making and tasting different cultural staples.
