Enabling people to be their best
As part of a community-led regeneration project in Murdishaw, we helped the local community deliver their vision for a new community space and helped bring this to life. Since opening its doors, the café has become a central place for the community to gather, enjoy freshly made food and drinks at low prices and attend a timetable of regular activities driven the communities wants and needs, such as:
- Weekly seasonal crafts
- Family fun days
- Local makers markets
- Cooking classes
- A baby loss support group
- Winter Warmer hubs with advice and practical support from a range of partners
- Weekly housing drop ins
Providing homes our customers love
We’ve refurbished 132 homes in Murdishaw, making them warmer, quieter and more comfortable for customers. Through the regeneration project, we installed new flat roofs with increased insulation, triple glazed skylights, double glazed windows and doors, internal and external wall insulation, ventilation systems, and sensors to monitor temperature and humidity.
We recently completed our Raven Court development in Runcorn, which features 27 one and two-bedroom apartments set in leafy surroundings with a public garden. At a sign-up event, customers living here were invited to join our Customer Engagement Community, meet our Neighbourhood Specialist and Safer Neighbourhoods teams, and learn about opportunities to fund local projects through the Onward Community Fund.
Creating places people are proud of
As part of the regeneration, we worked with Riverside and Halton Borough Council (HBC) to align our grounds maintenance services and transform overgrown green spaces into safe woodland environments for the community and wildlife to enjoy.
