Community services

As well as the homes we create, we offer lots of extra services for residents and the wider community of west London, including furniture supplier Furnish and our Best Chance, who help people build their skills and careers.

Best Chance offers support into employment, education or training for our residents and the wider community. Our volunteering opportunities and apprenticeships help people enhance their skills and experiences. 

If you’ve finished full-time education and are unsure of your career path, this could be a great first step on the job ladder. If you’re considering a career change, our Best Chance programme, run by our Community investment team, could be an invaluable opportunity to develop new skills and give something back.

Into Work
We support our residents and the wider west London community people to gain more skills, work experience, training or progress in their career.  This year, our Best Chance team helped 210 residents with career progression. Read our annual report to find out more about how Best Chance helps communities.

Volunteering
Volunteering is a great way to acquire new skills and meet people.  We have volunteering opportunities throughout the group, and if we don't have the right opportunity for us, we will help you find it.  

Apprenticeships
If you’re currently thinking about starting an apprenticeship, we may have the right opportunity for you. Joining us as an apprentice means that over 18-24 months, you will gain practical experience and training while studying towards a recognised qualification.

IntoHousing
We work with young adults living in our properties and those living in council housing in local boroughs to help them develop independent living skills and achieve career goals to enable them to move out of the family home. Find out more about the programme here.

IntoWellbeing
We provide support for people in achieving their desired goals. This could be to progress careers or reduce isolation.
