City Bridge Trust Grant

2019-07-09T00:24:12+00:00

Peter Bedford Housing Association recently completed an audit of all of our hubs to assess disability accessibility. Funded by a generous grant from the City Bridge Trust, this will allow us to put in place plans to ensure that all our hubs are fully accessible to disabled people. We know from experience that a substantial number of our tenants and participants experience a range of mobility issues, so work to ensure full accessibility will have enormous benefits for those we exist to support.
