Community Benefits are built into our new build housing contracts to help make sure that investment in local projects deliver more than just the physical works. Creating opportunities to support local people, communities and organisations through a range of economic, social and environmental initiatives.
We're committed to getting the most from our procurement activity and ensuring local communities benefit wherever possible from the money we invest in projects and services.
Community Benefits helps create lasting benefits for local communities alongside the delivery of new homes.
These benefits can include:
- Creating local job opportunities where possible.
- Providing apprenticeships, work experience placements and other training opportunities.
- Supporting schools and educational activities that help develop skills and raise aspirations.
- Helping community groups and local organisations through the "Community Benefits Hub"
- Delivering additional social value that helps strengthen communities and improve local outcomes.
By working with out contractors and partners, we're helping to ensure that investment in new housing also creates opportunities and positive impacts for local people and communities.
