We want to hear from tenants who pay service charges.

Since April, we’ve been meeting with tenants to find out what they think about the services they receive and whether there are opportunities to make improvements.

So far, we’ve held meetings at:
📍 Freshfield House, Huntingdon
📍 Temple Place, Huntingdon
📍 Southbrook Field, Papworth Everard

We’ve also sent out surveys to gather feedback on specific services, such as cleaning and grounds maintenance. As services vary from location to location, we’re keen to understand what matters most to each community.

The response so far has been really positive, with some tenants choosing to attend face-to-face meetings and others sharing their views through the survey. Every piece of feedback helps us better understand what’s working well and where improvements can be made.

Over the next year, we’ll be speaking to all affected areas and would encourage everyone who pays service charges to get involved. Your feedback is vital – without it, we can’t make the changes that matter most to you.

Our Cambridge Day Opportunities customers still have a few Easter eggs kindly donated by the National Trust at Anglesey Abbey, so the Thursday morning cooking group decided to get creative!

They melted them down and transformed them into homemade chocolates. Lucia, Mavis, Val and Sofia were all very pleased with the results.

Sofia couldn’t wait to wrap hers up to take home and share with her family… maybe 🍫

"It made my day to see my picture on the back of the bus" said Chris, a customer at our South Cambridgeshire Day Opportunities.

Yesterday we had a day to remember as Whippet buses and Papworth Trust united in a 'back of the bus' partnership. For the next 2 years, the bus will be travelling in, and around, Cambridge helping to raise awareness of the Trust's vital work across the region.

Thank you to everyone involved at Whippet buses for making this dream a reality!
