When you live in one of our homes, you’re a member of a valued community. Last year, we generated £12.3m in social value through our work with communities, helping customers with employment, training, wellbeing and more.
Support during tough times
Our Tenancy Sustainment Team helps people manage money and access financial and other support. Each day they help our customers sign up for Universal Credit, open bank accounts, or find ways to get on top of debts.
Community activities are important to our residents and neighbours. From Zumba classes to Knit & Natter sessions to gardening groups, there are many to choose from. We host community events, such as summer BBQs, where people can get to know their neighbours. We also support events initiated and run through local community groups by providing funding or a place to meet.
Community lunches
Working with Surplus to Supper and Sunbury Neighbours we created the Community Lunch Programme to help support residents experiencing loneliness. The lunches have become very popular and the number of residents attending increases each month.
Working with others
Besides the profit we invested in our communities, we raised another £480,000 in 2024. By applying for grants and working with other organisations, we strive to make an even greater difference to people in our communities.
