The arrival of Coronavirus in the UK and the move to a National Lockdown in March 2020, placed severe strain on our local communities and supporting agencies. In a climate of diminishing food supplies and donations, many local food banks experienced big spikes in demand.
In recognition of the fact that food banks were huge sources of support for some of the most deprived communities and many of our own customers, Selwood Housing decided to donate £1,000 from our Stronger Communities Fund to our local foodbanks in Trowbridge, Westbury, Warminster, Bradford-on-Avon, Melksham and £500 to those in Salisbury and Frome.
Selwood Housing was able to act quickly in response to the identified food shortages and make sure that our communities had the support they needed at such a critical time.
This was alongside making over 10,000 welfare calls to our most vulnerable customers and signposting them to the Wiltshire Coronavirus Hub and other local sources of support.
We continue to act as an enabling organisation supporting agencies to deliver services to communities in areas of deprivation where we hold housing stock.

#NationalPetMonth celebrates and raises awareness of responsible pet ownership and we’re here for it!
We recognise the benefits that responsible pet and animal ownership can bring, such as enhancing the owner's mental and physical health and encouraging exercise.
Pets will normally be allowed in all our properties with prior consent, except for flats with the following:
communal entrances.
shared areas or communal facilities (such as a lounge or laundry).
Customers are expected to act responsibly in relation to their pets and animals, and this includes adhering to their legal and welfare obligations

For over 30 years Group 5, a furniture recycling charity based in Trowbridge, has made a difference in the lives of families and individuals in need. They collect good-quality donated furniture and provide it free of charge to those struggling to afford it. We continue to support Group 5 with funding from our Stronger Communities Fund to assist with annual running costs, helping to ensure the charity can continue its valuable work supporting some of our most vulnerable families, alleviating poverty and raising living standards.
