Community investment is core to our role as a housing association and central to our social purpose.*

We commit to owning, investing in, and celebrating our community investment work and its impact.*

We will work with the Centre for Excellence in Community Investment to help maximise and measure the impact of our work, as well as invest in the people who deliver it.*

The Centre mailing list
