This year WDH is celebrating 10 years of its annual Love Where You Live awards which recognises young achievers and community heroes in the Wakefield district who make a positive difference to their communities.

WDH is demonstrating its commitment to building better places to live and creating confident communities through a multi-million-pound investment at Tombridge Crescent in Kinsley. The scheme will not only improve the properties for residents but will help to reduce antisocial behaviour and neighbour disputes caused by parking issues.

Summer is a great time to spruce up your home and garden, but if you are a WDH tenant or leaseholder, make sure you complete an application form before picking up your tools. To make your application easier, we have put in place a new streamlined process to provides a quicker turnaround.

Despite ongoing coronavirus restrictions, volunteers across the Wakefield district have been out maintaining the parks and greenspaces for everyone in their local communities to enjoy. Through our Communities Together Agreement, our Engagement team in partnership with Tivoli Group Limited, our ground’s maintenance contractors, have been proud to be able to contribute to the amazing work of these green fingered volunteers. Together we have donated over 30 litter pickers and other gardening equipment to support the maintenance of these wonderful spaces.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted more than ever how WDH’s independent living schemes can provide the right support at the right time to help some of our more vulnerable residents to remain independent in their own home.
