Brighter Futures Fund

Welcome to the Brighter Futures Fund

About the Fund

We are committed to supporting our community and creating a brighter future for all. Our Brighter Futures Fund is a community grant scheme made possible by the generous contributions from our suppliers as part of their community benefit commitments.

Through the Brighter Futures Fund, we aim to support projects that address various community needs, including education, health and well-being, environmental sustainability, and more. Working together can create a stronger, more vibrant community for everyone.

We thank all our suppliers for their contributions to the Brighter Futures Fund and for helping us make a difference in the lives of our community.

How it Works

Each financial year, our dedicated procurement team calculates the budget for the Brighter Futures Fund, which is determined by supplier rebates. We hold two or three funding rounds throughout the year based on the annual grant budget size.

Selection Process

Once the application window opens, our internal team of staff members from various departments will carefully review all eligible applications. We are dedicated to selecting projects that have the potential to make a positive impact on our community.

Tenant and Resident Involvement

We believe in empowering our tenants and residents to have a say in the projects that matter most to them. After the application review process, all eligible applications will be uploaded to our Facebook page, where tenants and residents can vote for their favourite projects.

Terms and conditions

Your voice matters, and this voting process ensures that the chosen projects align with the needs and desires of our community.

Stay Updated

We will inform you about the application process through regular updates on our website and Facebook page. Follow us on Facebook to receive the latest news and announcements.
