Community Benefits – Trivallis
2019/20
Community Benefit Projects (£20,000 awarded)
There are three elements to this project:
Community engagement projects - this will focus on two areas of stock where we will support a range of community activities (fit and fed, youth activities etc) that will encourage and support local people to become involved in the decisions that will affect their community going forward.
Improving training and employment opportunities - Trivallis will work with our tenants and a business provider to review, change and embed new practices which will allow us to increase the training and employment, community benefit and social value from our future investment. This will provide tangible benefits such as increasing local training and apprentice opportunities, improving community facilities and supporting locally managed co-operatives.
Improving the wellbeing of our communities - we will work with Merhyr and the Valleys Mind to deliver a range of therapeutic services to our tenants to support them improving their mental health and overall wellbeing. This project will used evidence-based therapies and support the most vulnerable to engage.
