Improving your community
We work with you, residents and our partner organisations to improve communities so they continue to be places where you want to live. We invested £280,000 in 101 community projects across our locality and secured a further £575,000 funding for communities.
Our community projects ranged from supporting the distribution of supplies to foodbanks, youth and school holiday activities, gardening and “grow your own” initiatives and fuel energy advice. We have worked with over 70 community partners and talked to resident groups throughout our local communities over the year.
Carry out regular inspections of estates in our communities to make sure our homes and properties are maintained to a suitable standard.
We listened
During lockdown we contacted 4,685 tenants to ask what support services would be most helpful. You told us that we could help by providing food parcels to the most isolated and vulnerable people in our communities.
We acted
We provided financial support to 25 local community organisations and they delivered over 8,300 food parcels and hot meals to vulnerable households during the year.
