Our projects

Our work with communities has two main threads, building communities through our volunteer and community engagement programmes, and supporting local community organisations to grow, develop and thrive.

HMP Five Wells wellbeing service

Our wellbeing programme for residents and staff of the new HMP Five Wells opening in Wellingborough. Our Resident Engagement & Wellbeing Officer will run the programme which will be aimed at improving residents’ health and wellbeing and helping them to make community connections.

Poverty Truth Commission

The Poverty Truth Commission for Northampton rests within the West Unitary Authority and is hosted by Voluntary Impact Northamptonshire. Read more about the project.

Water-saving campaign

We are currently working with Anglian Water on a water-saving campaign in Northampton, to coincide with the rollout of smart water meters in some parts of the town.
