We work with a range of partners to deliver positive social impact to our Customers and wider Community on a daily basis. From Community investment and volunteering to organised events and activities, we’re passionate about creating collaborative and inclusive Community experiences for all our Customers. Their needs and opinions are at the forefront of what we do, that’s why we’re creating more ways for Customers to get involved and tell us their thoughts on our services, policies and processes.
Our Community Projects
We have worked in our communities to prioritise social and support activities across a wide range of areas. We have launched a range of projects for our customers that offer employment support, digital training and wellbeing.
Customer Voice
Get involved and make a difference
Our Customer Involvement Promise, designed by our National Customer Group sets out how we will involve our customers in ensuring that our services continue to meet the needs of our customers both now and in the future. Our promise will be delivered in a way that offers choice and flexibility for people to be involved as and when they choose to, in a way that is convenient for them.
We have also designed a new customer involvement model which will make sure your voice is at the heart of decision making.
