COMMUNITY & SUPPORT ORGANISATIONS

At times we all face circumstances that are too difficult to manage by ourselves. Thankfully, there are people and services available who can offer assistance.

BHC has expertise in housing and property management. We partner with organisations whose expertise is support. These partnerships enable us to assist tenants to maintain your tenancy and achieve your goals.

On this page you will find links and contact details of many community and support organisations. Many of these organisations provide low-cost or free information, resources or support.

Whether you are seeking to become more involved in your local community, require information on your rights as a tenant, seeking social events or assistance with your well-being, hopefully, you will provide useful contacts on this page.

If you represent a community organisation which could be included on this page, please contact our Tenant Engagement Team.
