Community Strategy

The Trust has a new, five-year plan for supporting communities. This new Community Strategy outlines our commitment to ensuring our neighbourhoods are places where people want to live, both now and in the future.

The overall goal of this strategy is to achieve sustainable communities where people want to live now and in the future.

The Government defines sustainable communities as those which offer people:

  • Decent affordable homes.
  • A community in which they want to live and work.
  • The opportunity to develop their skills and interests.
  • Access to jobs and excellent services.
  • The chance to get involved and make a difference.

The Trust is the largest landlord in Bath and North East Somerset owning 86 per cent of all social housing. In addition we manage a growing number of homes in other local authority areas. We therefore are ideally placed to make a significant contribution to community sustainability in these areas and have an important role to play in meeting the aspirations of existing and future communities.
