Blackburn
Enabling people to be their best
Through the Onward Community Fund, we have gone beyond housing by granting over £9.9k to eight local projects across Lancashire since March last year. For further details about how you could get support, please email socialinvestment@onward.co.uk.
Thanks to a grant from the Fund, Sustainability Living CIC has helped to educate children on the alternative energy and planning needed to develop towns and raise awareness of local career opportunities.
VOICE Boulevard Centre in Blackburn also received funding to expand their Breakfast Club initiative through the Fund.
Providing homes our customers love
Since April last year, we have made improvements to our existing homes across Lancashire, including 237 new kitchens, 180 new bathrooms, 64 new roofs, 603 new doors and 43 new boilers. We have also installed new windows in 284 homes and improved the insulation of 81 homes.
Creating places people are proud of
Through a partnership with local Police, our Neighbourhoods and Safer Neighbourhoods Teams are improving how we respond to antisocial behaviour.
In Yates Fold and Honeyhole, we have worked with Blackburn and Darwen Borough Council to improve waste management and tackle fly tipping.
