Bernicia Community

We support projects that create lasting benefits for people and communities across the North East. By working with local partners and groups, we help ideas grow into projects that make a real difference where people live.

Bernicia Community

Helping people and communities thrive

Bernicia Community brings together the work we do to support people and neighbourhoods across the North East.

Bernicia is a housing association providing homes and services to thousands of people across the region.

But we are more than just a landlord. Through Bernicia Community, we work with tenants, partners and local organisations to create opportunities that help people build skills, connect with others and take part in activities in their community.

Much of this work is led by Bernicia’s Employability Team, who bring together training, activities and partnerships that support local people.

We work closely with community groups, charities, schools, colleges and other organisations to deliver programmes and activities across our communities.

By working together, we can support more people and create opportunities that make a positive difference.

Bernicia and Luke have helped me massively. I was very overwhelmed to start off with because I suffer with anxiety. I've been supported from the day I started here and I still am.
