KBH is proud to donate £2,000 to the Hamelin Trust for them become an ASDAN-accredited centre. This sponsorship has funded 12 months of accreditation and enabled 20 staff to be trained to deliver ASDAN courses.

With this support, Hamelin Trust can now offer accredited programmes to the 700+ individuals they support each year, giving people of all abilities, including those with complex needs, the chance to gain meaningful qualifications that last a lifetime.

Our Head of Social Value at KBH Haus delivered a two-hour interview technique workshop as part of the Launchpad pilot, welcoming 30 brilliant young people (aged 16–18) from local schools.

The programme, supporting Elly Hoult’s #ChooseHousing campaign, gave students a chance to:

✨ Explore careers in housing

✨ Take part in interactive workshops and Q&As

✨ Meet our teams and see how we work behind the scenes

We’re proud to be shaping opportunities that build confidence, skills, and pathways into housing careers and excited to offer paid work experience to those who shone on the day.

Through our Social Value programme under the Peabody contract, KBH Haus delivered two LAMDA-accredited courses at a local primary school:
• Verse and Prose for 6–7 year olds
• Speaking in Public for 8–9 year olds

Led by our Head of Social Value, Kaijah McMahon, the sessions were full of energy, storytelling, and drama. Kaijah combined 20 years of arts experience with practical tools to help children speak clearly, think quickly, and feel confident.

Supporting Women’s Sport: Backing Elana Keita and Coventry Welsh RFC

We’re proud to continue our commitment to women’s sport through our sponsorship of Coventry Welsh Rugby Club for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons — and even prouder to support one of our own, Elana Keita, as she takes to the pitch in the second row this year.

Founded in 1925, Coventry Welsh is a club with a proud heritage and a deep connection to its community. Since relocating to Coventry, Elana has not only embraced the city but found her place in a team that shares her passion, values, and competitive spirit.

As an organisation, we believe in supporting our team both professionally and personally. Elana’s achievement is a testament to resilience, drive, and the importance of backing talent wherever it shines. Her involvement in women’s rugby reflects the growing momentum in the sport, and we are proud to play a role — however small — in helping break down barriers and create opportunities.

Coventry Welsh is known for fostering talent, building camaraderie, and championing rugby at all levels — and Elana embodies all of these qualities. We’re excited to see what she’ll accomplish in the seasons ahead.

Here’s to Elana, and to the continued growth of women’s sport — on and off the field.

The Friendship Bench – A Gift of Connection

KBH Haus proudly supported William Tyndale Primary School, Islington with the donation of a Friendship Bench a colourful and inviting space designed to encourage kindness and connection among students.

More than a seat, the bench became a quiet way for children to signal they’d like a friend to talk to, helping foster inclusion and community spirit on the playground.
Installed as part of our commitment to nurturing supportive spaces, the bench was auctioned during Quiz Night to support the school’s fundraising efforts.

Donated by KBH Haus. Building spaces that bring people together.

KBH Haus was proud to take part in the recent Peabody Community Day at the King Edward Community Centre in Laindon. It was a pleasure connecting with local residents, listening to valuable feedback, and lending a helping hand by providing a skip for the removal of bulky furniture and household items.

No community event is complete without great conversation and refreshments—so we made sure to bring along plenty of tea and our signature KBH cupcakes, which proved to be a real crowd-pleaser!

We’re committed to supporting local communities and look forward to many more opportunities to engage and grow together.
