Customers from Ipswich Day Opportunities have been busy working together to create this beautiful plant art display. 🌿

Everyone coloured and cut out their own leaves, used string for the stems and made the plant pots from card – a real team effort that you can see they’re really proud of.

Big smiles all around! 🎉 The incredible feedback from our customers reminds us why we do what we do.

Irena, a customer on our WorkWell programme in Peterborough, got in touch to praise the help and support she has received from her Work and Health Coach.

In her words… “I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the support and help you have provided during a very difficult time in my life. Thank you for not only your professional assistance, but also for your kindness, understanding and truly human approach to my situation. Your patience, empathy and willingness to listen made a huge difference and helped me feel supported rather than judged. Your help with resolving complex and stressful life and financial situations has meant more to me than words can express. It gave me hope, clarity and strength to move forward. Please accept my heartfelt thanks for everything you have done.”

What if doing good was as easy as payday?

This February, Papworth Trust is getting involved in Payroll Giving Month, encouraging employers to champion a simple, powerful way to support disabled people across the East of England.

Payroll Giving allows employees to support the charities they care about straight from their salary, before tax, making every donation go further with minimal effort.

It’s a great opportunity to celebrate your organisation’s commitment to social impact, engage your teams, and show that giving back can be part of everyday working life.
Already have a payroll giving scheme, or thinking about introducing one? Now’s the perfect time to take a look.

Thank you for supporting your local community!

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 October–December 2025
⬆️ up from 92% in the previous quarter
Our target is 95%

🔧 9 out of 10 (90%) of repairs were fixed right first time
⬆️ up from 87.6% 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.
