Community facilities
We provide community facilities to enhance our tenants’ daily lives.
To find out which facilities are offered by your scheme, check the Independent living directory or speak to your Housing Management Officer (HMO).
Communal lounge
All tenants can access the communal lounge at any time.
Tenants may also use the room for:
- celebrations
- meetings and clubs
- social and recreational activities
- a cup of tea and a chat
All schemes are encouraged to invite the wider public to events in the communal lounge.
Some schemes have a residents' association with an Amenity Fund, which is used to help pay for social occasions like parties and outings. Most of the money in the fund comes from various money raising activities, which you can take part in. If the scheme you chose doesn’t have an active residents' association, you could be the person to help set one up.
All schemes are encouraged to invite the wider public to events in the communal lounge.
Meals and communal kitchens
Our schemes do not provide catering, but each property has a personal kitchen for your own meal preparation.
A communal kitchen is also available and open to your friends and family to use.
Family visits
Family and friends can visit at any time. Some schemes offer a fully furnished guest room; this is available on a casual basis for a small charge.
Parking
Parking varies from scheme to scheme.
Our independent living schemes have a buggy store for mobility scooters, with a limited number of spaces.
