Maximising community engagement: Elderpark Housing Association implements new funding strategy

Established in 1975, Elderpark Housing Association has been a cornerstone of community support and housing. Over the years, it has expanded its reach to Govan, Ibrox, Kinning Park, and Cessnock, now managing over 1,500 properties. Central to its mission is Community Regeneration, exemplified by its ownership of the Elderpark Street Community Centre since the 1980s. Committed to providing quality, affordable homes and excellent services, Elderpark envisions leading in delivering outstanding customer service and fostering great places to live.

Despite its commitment to community engagement, Elderpark faced challenges in securing grant funding effectively. The manual search for funding proved time-consuming and restrictive, hindering the support for visionary initiatives.

Elderpark embraced GrantFinder, leading to transformative changes. The software facilitated the identification of funding opportunities, streamlined project planning, and elevated its role as a community anchor. By enhancing partnerships and community relations, GrantFinder empowered Elderpark to extend its reach and strengthen ties within the community.

The adoption of GrantFinder not only optimised operational capabilities but also strengthened Elderpark’s position as a pivotal community anchor. The partnership with Idox’s GrantFinder evolved into a collaborative effort aimed at achieving greater community success. As Elderpark continues to leverage GrantFinder, the anticipation grows for more significant achievements in funding identification and community project successes, exemplifying the power of innovative technology and community vision.

Jonathan Giddings Reid, Community Regeneration Officer at Elderpark, emphasised the impact of GrantFinder, stating, “The ease of use and the depth of resources available at our fingertips have been game-changers. It’s not just about the funding; it’s about strengthening our community ties and extending our reach.”

Michelle Chapman, Account Manager at Idox, highlighted the partnership’s success, stating, “Elderpark Housing Association’s adoption of GrantFinder has truly set a new benchmark in how technology can empower community-focused organisations.”

The ease of use and the depth of resources available at our fingertips have been game-changers. It’s not just about the funding; it’s about strengthening our community ties and extending our reach.

Jonathan further expressed gratitude towards the collaboration with Idox, stating, “Working with the team at Idox has been a highlight for us. Their readiness to assist, coupled with their genuine care for our needs, has made a significant difference.”

Elderpark’s journey with GrantFinder exemplifies how the right tools, supported by the right people, can pave the way for a brighter, more engaged community future.
