Thousands of our customers will be offered vouchers for school uniforms to alleviate pressures surrounding the cost of living. 

With no qualifying criteria, families can access vouchers after a discussion with the Money Matters team about their current circumstances. 

With the challenging times across the country at the moment, we know that some of our customers may be feeling vulnerable or worried about their safety

Colleagues from Incommunities have successfully completed the gruelling Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge, raising more than £4,000 for three vital Bradford charities, Homeless Not Hopeless, Popi, and Andy’s Man Club.

10 months after swapping three of our standard diesel vans for electric models, it’s positive news all around about their performance. 

This community spirit shines through in bucketloads with Woodside resident Andy Walsh. 

Andy, who was recently presented with the accolade of Tenant of the Year at the 2024 Northern Housing Awards, is the definition of going over and above. 

We are delighted to announce the opening of two of a planned five local community hubs, helping customers to access our services face-to-face. 

After the success of last year’s UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF), Bradford will be well represented when the conference is held again this year from 21 – 23 May. 

The hard work and dedication of some of our colleagues, customers and Board members has been recognised recently in a deluge of awards shortlists. 

We’re delighted to announce that Kanika Selvan, who is a member of our Board has been shortlisted in the Women in Housing Awards, Board/committee member of the year category. 

To celebrate International Women’s Day, Helen Chapman, our Head of People Experience reflects on her 20+ year career in Social Housing and the changes she has seen in the sector and at Incommunities. We’re also proud to share our 2024 Gender Pay Gap report and how we’re breaking down barriers to fairness and equity in our pay practices.

Over the next few months we’ll be carrying out a survey of all the trees on our land. 

Trees can pose significant hazards if left unchecked. Dead branches, weaknesses, and disease can lead to branches and trees falling, damaging property and injuring people. 

The desire to do something different with an area of grassland in Shipley has led to the community coming together to plant a new fruit tree orchard. 

A group of residents from the Wycliffe Neighbourhood Association asked the people of Shipley what they would like to happen on the hilly grassed area near Wycliffe Road and Moorhead View. 

A committee ensuring tenants and local people have a voice in decision making at Incommunities is now in place.
