Community Benefit clauses are included in all major contracts with the Council. They require contractors who work with the Housing Service to commit to ‘giving something extra’ back to the local economy through Community Benefit schemes.
Schemes can include sponsoring local projects such as community gardens and sports teams, or refurbishing schools, village halls, community centres, or any similar project.
