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 this year. For further details about how you could get a grant for up to £2,500 and to apply, 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 this year, we have made improvements to our existing homes across Lancashire, including 170 new kitchens, 131 new bathrooms, 60 new roofs, 268 new doors, 35 new boilers and the installation of new windows in 147 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.
