Community development

Developing your community

At Catalyst Communities Housing Association, we aim to provide homes that:

  • people will enjoy living in year after year
  • are in safe, secure and vibrant neighbourhoods.

Developing a community means encouraging local people and groups to work together to make a difference to their lives and neighbourhood.

We aim to:

  • tackle poverty and the causes of poverty
  • promote equal opportunities
  • reduce crime and antisocial behaviour
  • invest in communities and make them sustainable
  • promote active communities
  • encourage residents from different backgrounds to value and understand each other.
What do we do?

We provide a range of services, activities and events, and can help develop your community by offering you:

  • access to our qualified and experienced staff
  • the chance to use resources such as computers, sports equipment, crèches and community centres
  • facilities for children and young people, such as play clubs, youth clubs and summer activities
  • our skills and knowledge to help you run committees, organise events, fundraise, support residents’ associations and produce estate newsletters
  • information on the role of management committees and officers, managing a budget, equal opportunities and youth work
  • help to build your own network of service providers
  • opportunities to have fun, make friends and be part of what is going on
  • the chance to improve your neighbourhood.
