Enabling Communities

In line with our mission – enabling independent living - Colne creates opportunities for local people and communities to make a positive difference to their own health, happiness and quality of life.

Because we believe passionately that our limited resources are best spent where they will make a lasting difference, we build partnerships with other organisations that can bring extra knowledge and expertise to benefit the communities where Colne has housing stock.

We’ve also got our ears open to the best ideas that come from local groups who wish to improve their communities. So there’s an opportunity to apply for a grant through Colne Community Builders to start something new or scale up an existing project.
