Testimonies from our local partners

“Barnet Homes has a long and healthy history of partnership working with Colindale Communities Trust. Our relationship is built on trust, joint working and shared goals to support local people and communities in and around Grahame Park, Colindale. Colindale Communities Trust continues to play a central coordinated role in bringing together partners from within the voluntary, community and public sector, with the shared aim of supporting local people to improve their social and economic wellbeing and long term aspirations. We are extremely proud and thankful for their continued support and recognise without the teams grassroot knowledge of local community need, it would be a challenge for Barnet Homes to maintain the level of engagement to bring about positive changes to people’s lives.”
Elliott Sweetman
Group Director, Operations & Property, Barnet Homes Group

“For the RAF Museum our strong relationship and partnership with Colindale Communities
Trust is absolutely invaluable. The team are always supportive of initiatives involving the local community and are brilliant at connecting organisations like ours with both local residents and groups to work together. Working with CCT, who are so trusted and valued by residents, allows us to reach new sections of the local community and help address gaps in provision. Staff at CCT have a can-do attitude and are always looking at new and innovative ways to work with Colindale residents. This has allowed us to team up on several projects that empower our community including an Arts and Culture Scheme.”
Rhiannon Watkinson
Community Engagement Manager, RAF Museum

“Barnet enjoy a productive relationship with CCT. Our service areas engage with CCT and other partners through the Grahame Park Steering Group using the Neighbourhood Change Social Impact Framework. This framework allows Barnet to focus on a place-based approach and tailor our provision to the unique needs of the residents of Grahame Park.”

CCT is also a long and trusted partner and deliverer of local services for NHG. They oversee and Chair the Grahame Park Strategy Group (GPS), to ensure successful delivery of the social and economic workstream through Neighbourhood Change Social Impact Framework and action plan. CCT have been really successful in transitioning through covid-19 pandemic, to ensure any gaps in provision are
