We deliver a wide range of community-based support across our regions, combining local spaces, services and partnerships to support residents in practical ways.
Our community spaces
We run local community hubs and centres where residents can access support, build skills and connect with others.
These include spaces such as The Reed, which provides pathways into employment and skills development, and local centres that support older residents and community wellbeing.
We also deliver youth programmes such as BASE, offering creative and digital opportunities for young people to build skills, confidence and experience.
Cafes and community hubs
Our community cafes provide welcoming, accessible spaces where people can come together, access support and feel part of their community.
Café 1759 in Whitehill and Bordon and the Roundabout Café in Southampton are at the heart of local neighbourhoods, offering activities, volunteering opportunities and affordable food options.
Food and cost of living support
We provide access to affordable food through community pantries and local initiatives, helping residents manage rising costs while supporting wellbeing.
Over 400 households regularly use our community pantries, saving more than 129,000 pounds on essential food costs.
Employment, skills and wellbeing support
Our programmes include employment support, training, social activities and wellbeing services, helping residents build confidence, improve independence and access new opportunities.
We work in partnership with local organisations and charities to deliver this support where it is needed most.
Community-led funding and activities
We support local ideas and community-led projects through funding and partnerships, helping residents take an active role in shaping their communities.
We also run community events and action days to improve shared spaces and bring people together.
Retail and community spaces
We also operate retail and community spaces that help generate funding and support for our work, reinvesting back into the communities we serve.
