Community Development & Inclusion

Community Development and Inclusion Team 

Community Development Partners

Working with Housing Partners and teams across Accent, our Community Development Partners engage with our customers at a local level to understand what is happening where you live and develop projects, events and initiatives which benefit your communities and deliver social value. 

If you have an idea for an event or activity which you feel will benefit your neighbours and your community, please get in touch with us, we'd love to hear about it. 

Inclusion Partners

Our Inclusion Service helps our customers to manage their finances and sustain their tenancies to achieve long-term stability. The service provides practical advice and access to specialist support with budgeting, benefits, financial assistance, and digital inclusion.

Our Inclusion Partners provide one‑to‑one support to customers with complex needs or barriers that cannot be resolved through digital or other services.

All our customer events across all our regions are listed here. If you'd like to know more about any of them, there's a contact email listed with each one. We are very busy over the summer months and we would really love for you to join us at any of our open activities.

Our Community Development and Inclusion Strategy

Our Community Development and Inclusion Strategy explains how we work with you and our community partners to help you make the most of any opportunities to improve your life, or to help you overcome any challenges you may face.

Supporting you in this way means the work we do in your communities has a direct and positive impact on you. 

You can view the full version of our strategy here.
