You can enjoy the communal facilities yourself, with other residents or with family and friends when you feel like a change of scenery. Sometimes, the facilities may also be used by members of the local community. Subject to an agreement with your local manager, you may be able to use communal spaces for private occasions; if a space is reserved we will let you know in advance. Many of our communal lounges are fitted with a hearing loop to ensure they are accessible to all. 

If you enjoy socialising with other residents, you are encouraged to arrange events and activities to take place either in the communal areas or off site. Anyone can get involved so if you have an idea, speak to your local manager for more information. 

In some of our properties, Wi-Fi is available in our communal areas but if you would prefer to stay connected at home, you can install your own broadband. Our schemes are fitted with standard BT phone lines so you will need to contact BT to apply for a line and then upgrade to broadband.

If you are in receipt of benefits, such as Pension Credit, you could be entitled to a cheaper broadband plan. Just contact your provider or speak to your local manager for more information.
