Defining our communities

Willowacre Trusts views  a cohesive and thriving community as defined below:

"A community to us is more than just affordable homes; it is about creating safe, socially inclusive, thriving, vibrant communities where people want to live. To us it is about ensuring that people have access to training and employment opportunities, where they are supported to maximise their income, where they have improved health and wellbeing and feel good about their life."
