Through our grants programme, the Thriving Communities Fund, we have been able to extend assistance to support the efforts of Waddesdon Hall with their community project. The Waddesdon Community Hub & Community Projects cover various areas of support including education, skills development, cultural enrichment, social inclusion, and collaborative partnerships.

You can now easily find our community events and volunteer opportunities on our website.

Springboard Grants are available to any of our residents and come under the Thriving Communities Fund. This type of grant offers residents up to £300 to support opportunities for wellbeing, education, training, or employment. 

Volunteering plays an essential role in shaping our services. Our resident volunteers influence positive change and make a big difference for other residents, and members of the community.

We are pleased to announce that we have been re-awarded the Direct Labour Organisation (DLO) Accreditation for the next three years, a recognition we received back in December.

With the colder weather expected to continue over the coming weeks, we know it can cause issues in your home and may result in higher call volumes to our Contact Centre.
