COMMUNITY FUNDING

 

The Arcon Community Fund is now in its third year and was launched to support projects and activities in the local areas where we have properties. Arcon recognises the rich diversity of people that either live in our properties or are members of the local communities where we have homes. Applications for the fund are welcomed from Arcon customers and local community organisations. We support activities and services which improve the well-being of residents; help residents to increase their employability; and support people who have or are currently experiencing homelessness.

 

Arcon’s Community Funding has allocated £7,000 for this year’s Community Funding, and we are able to help seven organisations in supporting various causes across Manchester.
