Our business has a positive impact on people, homes, and neighbourhoods. We are committed to this ethos and support local community groups and partners to deliver projects and service for the benefit of our customers.
Selwood Housing's Stronger Communities Fund is a grant scheme aimed at improving the lives of our customers and the communities where they live.
Our grant funding can be used to cover the whole cost of a project, or as a contribution towards a larger cost. We generally distribute small grants but will consider applications requesting a maximum of £2000.
Applications must be for projects that can evidence a benefit to our customers or a community initiative in one of our neighbourhoods.

During the pandemic, our Stronger Communities Fund continued to support local projects. We provided funds to Group 5 to support vulnerable families, local food banks and secured £35,000 to purchase new devices to support education and access digital learning. We also invested funds to revamp a local skatepark to provide young people with free and accessible space.
