Hackney Homes will be throwing its doors open to residents on Thursday, 18 February.

The event taking place at Ocean on Mare Street (opposite Hackney Town Hall) will showcase the services that Hackney Homes and more than 50 local organisations have to offer residents. Just jump on the 106 bus and you'll be there in no time.

Hackney Homes promise that the day will be 'interactive, engaging and fun with information and practical advice on managing finances, recycling, food composting, well-being, how to get involved, home maintenance plus keeping safe in the community'.

An area will be dedicated to young people, giving advice on employment opportunities, help with CVs, opportunities through the 2012 Olympics, projects and youth groups in Hackney, with activities like Nintendo Wii and a graffiti wall. A crèche will be provided for any residents wishing to bring children. All residents who attend will be entered into a draw to win a PlayStation 3.

Ocean, Mare Street, noon-6pm, 18 February
