We want to hear from you!

As part of our research for The Tenants’ Voice project, we’re looking to hear from social housing tenants about their experiences with social landlords.

This feedback will help us to identify the key issues tenants face, and how this platform can be designed to help with their future experience.

As a thank you for taking part, you will have the chance to win a £100 amazon voucher!

We’re excited to be underway with The Tenants’ Voice project, funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communications and Local Government for our newest project.

This is an innovative new project aiming to support social housing tenants by developing a digital platform that helps when dealing with housing issues.

We’re currently in the research stage of this project and would love to hear your ideas and opinions!

Coming up, we’re running two fully funded events for tenants:

📅1st July 2026 at The London School of Economics, London
📅20th - 21st July 2026 at Trafford Hall, Chester

We’re looking to hear from tenants’ first-hand experiences, and gain feedback on how this platform could help them in the future.

We already love our Community Champions for the brilliant work they do - but when they join forces to creat something great for their communities, it's even more fantastic.

A massive congrats to Sushma’s Community Cookery School CIC and The Hub Hugs4Free CIC for yesterday's collaboration in Burnley, made possible with funding from Smokefree Lancashire. We can't wait to see what you do next!

Today marks our second Green Aspirations Day of 2026!

We’re excited to be welcoming more schoolchildren to Trafford Hall, for another day focused on inspiring future careers in sustainability and the green sector.

The day is designed to encourage children from a young age to explore career pathways through hands-on activities, practical workshops and conversations with professionals working in the sector. Meeting employers and hearing from engaging stories from the industry can inspire children to take an interest in a career in the future.

Today’s event would not be possible without the amazing support of the businesses and employees volunteering their time out of work to inspire the next generation.

A special thank you to all our volunteers joining us today!

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and we’re reflecting on the importance of feeling heard, supported and confident about the future.

Across our programmes, we see first-hand how confidence, aspiration and mental wellbeing are closely linked. Feeling listened to, having safe spaces to express views and feeling supported can all have a positive impact on mental health.

We want participants to feel like they are in a safe environment where they feel valued, supported and comfortable to speak their mind. We believe having access to a community that values your presence and opinions is important to mental wellbeing.

Supporting mental health is not just a one‑week conversation. It is part of our everyday commitment to creating environments where people feel heard, valued and supported to build confidence in themselves and their future.

Happy Earth Day! 🌍

At NCRC, our objective is to create healthier, more resilient and sustainable communities. Much of this comes from helping people develop skills, confidence and understanding of the green sector through a range of programmes that supports individual wellbeing and community building.

Our programmes provide space for learning, confidence building and developing new skills. Whether it is through classroom-based activities, work with school groups or collaborating with community leaders to, we focus on helping people understand the importance of their environment and deliver opportunities to educate people on the future of our planet.

Our Shaping Sustainable Futures programme is a key part of this. It supports young adults to learn about sustainability, green sector careers and the practical changes that can improve both individual wellbeing and the places they call home.

If you would like to learn more about our programmes or explore opportunities to collaborate, we would love to hear from you.
