Community Involvement

Lakehouse is committed to making a positive contribution in the communities that it serves. We believe our investment makes a positive difference and benefits us all.

Our Community Liaison Officers work closely with residents, schools, community groups and the general public to ensure that we listen to everyone’s concerns and opinions.  

We actively support community programmes including training and development initiatives, education projects and local and national charities. Our staff regularly give up their time for fundraising activities, recently raising over £2,000 for Community Links, a local charity which helps disadvantaged and vulnerable children in the community.

We have won numerous awards for our work in the community.
