Genesis Community


Fabian Gilbert at Parliament

Genesis Community is a charitable foundation that was set up to tackle the challenges of deprivation and social exclusion in disadvantaged areas.

Launched in 2005, it builds on a strong track record of community initiatives and regeneration set up by Genesis Housing Group.

Genesis Community has set up a range of projects and initiatives aimed at vulnerable people and hard-to-reach groups.


What we do

Genesis Community works to build bridges for change:

  • Setting-up projects with residents
  • Forging long-term partnerships with local agencies, partners and companies

Everything we do has the interests of the community and its residents at its heart. We listen, learn and consult on new projects and continue to do this throughout their duration to make sure that we meet the needs and hopes of the community.

Genesis Community also administers four Community Chest grants. You can read more about these in Community Chests.
