  • What should LHP focus on in the future?

    We're exploring what success could look and feel like by 2030, and we'd like to hear what you think. By 2030, what would you like it to be like to live in an LHP home and be an LHP customer?

    We're developing LHP's new Corporate Strategy for 2027–2030, our plan for what we want to achieve over the next three years and we want our customers to help shape it.

    We've put together a short survey to find out what matters most to you, what you think LHP should focus on and whether there is anything important we've missed.

    The survey is open until 30 September, and we'd really value your views.

    To take the survey you can use this QR code or visit the link to our form:

    Help shape LHP’s future – Fill in form

    If you need help to complete the survey, or need it in another format, please contact us and we'll help you take part. You can call us: 0345 604 1472.

    When answering, we'd like you to look ahead to 2030. This isn't about rating LHP today, it's about what you think we should aim to achieve in the future.

    We want to hear what matters to you, including anything you think we have missed. We'll look at what you tell us alongside what we hear from other customers and colleagues to help shape our priorities for 2027–2030.

    The survey will not automatically collect personal details such as your name or email address unless you choose to provide them.

    What happens next?

    This survey is just the start. In the autumn, we'll share what customers and colleagues have told us and there will be more opportunities for customers to help develop the strategy.

    We're also setting up a customer co-design panel for people who would like to be more involved in shaping the Corporate Strategy. If you'd like to be part of the panel, please email: getinvolved@lincolnshirehp.com

  • Bishop King Community Center Tidy Up

    Recently, we joined our local community group at the Bishop King Center for a day of action focused on tackling litter and tidying overgrown gardens. It was a fantastic day of collaborative working, bringing together local ward representatives, the Co-op, members of the LHP team, and residents to help make the outdoor spaces cleaner, greener, and more welcoming.

    Working together like this not only improves the appearance of our neighborhood but also strengthens our shared commitment to creating places that everyone can be proud to call home.

    We'd love to support more community initiatives like this in the future. If you have ideas for projects in your neighborhood or feedback on how you can get involved, please get in touch with LHP or see your Neighborhood Officer for a chat whilst out and about. We'd love to hear from you and work together to make a positive difference.
