Social and Financial Inclusion

My Great Start – delivered in partnership with local third-sector organisations and supported by the Foundation – provides the support new tenants need to make a real go of their tenancy.

We can help tenants with budgeting advice, help to claim benefits and fuel advice, good value credit, and banking options.

The service can also support new tenants with heating their home, registering for local services such as a GP or even connecting with local community groups, helping them stay in their home for years to come.

Making a house feel like a home can be expensive. Our Home Comforts programme helps tenants make their new house a home by providing them with free furniture that they otherwise may have not been able to afford.

We take donated pieces of furniture, clean them, and make them as good as new through upcycling. We’ll then pass them to our tenants who need it most. Items available include sofas, beds, cookers, and wardrobes.
