Examples of community projects

At Guinness Hermitage we are dedicated to providing a large variety of community events to our customers and the local areas that we serve.  We are committed not only to providing you somewhere to live i.e. a house, but also to helping you foster a real sense of community - enabling you to live not only in a safe and friendly environment, but also in a community in which you want to live.

Below are some examples of previous community projects that Guinness Hermitage has been involved in organising for its customers. If you have any ideas for future projects, or you would like information about any projects that might be coming up in your area please contact Den Barry, Head of Community Investment for Guinness Hermitage on 023 9279 4515, or via email at den.barry@guinness.org.uk.

StreetSport

StreetSport is a well established initiative organised and run by Guinness Hermitage in partnership with Havant Borough Council. Started in 2003, the project was designed to address youth nuisance and anti-social behaviour by getting young people involved in sporting activities during summer school holidays.
