Who are Communities and Housing Investment in People?
Communities and Housing Investment in People (CHIP) was set up to support the social value objectives set by Communities and Housing Investment Consortium Ltd (CHIC), who are a member owned procurement and asset management consortium, delivering efficiencies and social value for its members.
CHIP supports many social value operations within the organisation to ensure the maximum social value delivery is achieved, working in partnership with organisations and community groups to support projects that help to improve the lives of individuals, in addition to supporting communities, to bring about lasting, positive change.
CHIP's Objectives
CHIP seeks to bring positive, sustainable changes to people's lives by supporting:
Training and apprenticeships through CHIC’s contractors and suppliers
Employment sponsorship, delivering training and jobs for people distant from the workplace
Projects in communities that are local to CHIC’s members, via a Community Chest Fund
Recognition of individual achievements through learning and personal development
Direct social value delivery through a range of community initiatives
