As well as ensuring that our homes are safe and secure, we play an active part in our local community. As the largest landlord in borough, we recognise our responsibility. We work with local contractors, charities and social enterprises to ensure that our neighbourhoods are places to be proud of.

We are delighted once again, to be in receipt of such generosity from Halton Housing. Our project to support Children & Young People whose families are affected by cancer has grown. As a result of this help, we are able to support more young people in dealing with the impact cancer has had on their lives and on their emotional wellbeing. We are very grateful to Halton Housing for this, and for all they do in our local community.

A massive thank you to Halton Housing for providing much-needed funding. Our primary objective is to keep Widnes free from litter and help restore civic pride in our communities. The new funding from Halton Housing will allow us to expand our activities and carry out more litter picking and clean up events in the town.

As a group, we were absolutely thrilled with the support we received from Halton Housing. This year's event has helped us to reach more people than ever in highlighting issues affecting women and also in raising sanitary donations to be distributed to local women in need.
