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!

Customers at Basildon Day Opportunities had a exciting visit from Cat and John from South Essex Police. They taught everyone about staying safe online and how to contact emergency services. They even had the chance to sit in the police car and turn the lights and sirens on and off, which everyone loved.

Thank you South Essex Police 😊

Our housing service is aiming high 🏠 We want to be ambitious, and we want to provide the very best housing service we can. Our latest results show the journey we’ve been on — and the journey we’re still on.

One of our key priorities is delivering a responsive repairs service that tenants can rely on, and we’re proud of the progress we’re making:

97% of responsive repairs completed on time between January – March 2026
↔️ same as previous quarter
Our target is 95%

9 out of 10 (91.1%) of repairs were fixed right first time
⬆️up from 90% last period
Our target is 90%

This is real improvement, driven by the hard work of our teams and our commitment to doing better every day. We’re not stopping here — we’ll keep pushing to deliver the service our tenants deserve.
