How we make a difference

We’re proud to play an active part in keeping our neighbourhoods clean, safe and welcoming. Working together with partners like Colchester City Council’s Neighbourhoods team and Essex Police, we get involved in a range of local improvement days throughout the year.

You’ll see us taking part in Days of Action, joining Estate Tours with our caretaker team, and supporting national events like the Great British Spring Clean. These days bring people together to make a real difference.

Activities can include things like litter‑picks, trimming trees and hedges, planting bulbs, gardening, fixing or repainting fences, and clearing away rubbish. Every small action helps improve the places you live, and we’re committed to doing our bit to keep neighbourhoods looking their best.

Volunteers Needed

We’re always looking for people who want to make a positive contribution to their neighbourhood. No matter where you live, there are plenty of chances to get involved throughout the year.

Whether you enjoy painting, gardening, litter‑picking, or just getting stuck in and helping out, your time and energy can make a real difference. If you’d like to join in, keep an eye on our Facebook page for upcoming community events, or get in touch with our Resident Engagement team at resident.engagement@cbhomes.org.uk.

Together, we can keep our neighbourhoods clean, welcoming, and great places to live.
