Our partners

We are participating in a series of Community Action Days, organised by Buckinghamshire Council and Thames Valley Police, which bring local partners together to tackle antisocial behaviour concerns and listen to residents.

We work with Buckinghamshire Council’s Helping Hand team, who can offer extra help to those on low incomes or are experiencing a financial emergency. They will prioritise urgent requests for household fuel and emergency food, and aim to respond within three working days.

Antisocial behaviour (ASB) is a serious issue that can have a very significant effect on many people's lives, and we take firm action to tackle it wherever possible. Where our tenants are engaged in serious ASB or criminal offences, we work in close partnership with Thames Valley Police to gather evidence and secure court orders and evictions where necessary.

We're pleased to say that we're members of Tpas, England's leading tenant engagement experts. Our tenant volunteers have worked alongside external consultants from Tpas to carry out scrutiny reviews of areas of our services, and both tenants and staff regularly attend Tpas events, including the Tpas National Tenant Conference. We recently hosted an event for other member organisations in Tpas' East region, including Central Bedfordshire Council, Fairhive, Soha, and Papworth Trust.

One Can Trust operates a foodbank based in High Wycombe, serving the town and the wider area of South Buckinghamshire. One Can Trust is a charity we are very proud to be able to partner with - we refer our tenants in need to them, support their work through our Springboard fund, we have a permanent collection point in our office where staff and visitors can donate items, and staff members often use their annual volunteer day to help One Can Trust.

We work with Central Aid, who can offer our tenants extra help when they first move in. This can include carpets, furniture and white goods. Where tenants move out and leave good condition white goods behind, we work with Central Aid who collect and redistribute these.

Wycombe Mind is key to providing help and support to tenants who experience mental health issues. We've funded Wycombe Mind’s Free Space project, which was developed to provide dedicated support to those affected by issues relating to hoarding. The project has helped to improve the mental health and wellbeing of tenants whose home environment was negatively affecting them. We initially supported this project through our Springboard fund and now use Wycombe Mind as a contractor for complex hoarding cases.

We partner with Chiltern Rangers to engage tenants in brightening up communal outdoor areas within some of the estates and sheltered schemes that we manage. Recent examples include work to transform Linchfield for the benefit of both people and wildlife, and the development of a community well-being garden at Baines House.
