Our communities
It is our aim to create communities where people really want to live. As well as maintaining and investing in our housing, we do this through a our wider community projects.
Community Fund
We have funding available to support projects and events in our communities. If you have a brilliant idea for how you can improve your community then our Community Fund, through Cairn Housing Association, might be just what you’ve been waiting for. You might have loads of enthusiasm and great ideas for projects and improvements in your community but you need funding to get plans off the ground. What are you waiting for?

Small Steps
If you are suffering from mild mental health problems or are feeling overwhelmed with events in your life, then this free service is for you. The project aims to increase confidence and self-esteem by delivering holistic and bespoke assistance to customers such as one-to-one and group counselling sessions to reduce levels of loneliness, depression and isolation. We also run free holistic treatments such as reiki, Swedish massage, ear candling, Indian head massage, meditation and yoga. You can find out more and self-refer in our Small Steps Counselling leaflet and Small Steps Holistic Treatments leaflet.
