Community Chest
The Community Chest was set up in 2013 to fund projects that will make a difference to the Phoenix community. Since then, we have awarded £900,000 to 100 projects benefitting more than 21,500 people.. Previous projects have covered a wide range of activities, from family away days to African drumming classes.
We believe that these projects help create a stronger community and support our residents to gain new skills and access experiences and opportunities that may otherwise not be available.
