Ongo Local partnership delivers big impact through ‘Improving Lives’ project

A partnership between Ongo Homes, Ongo Communities, and local supplier South Bank Carpets is transforming lives across our communities, one home at a time. Since April, the Improving Lives project has delivered vital home improvements to dozens of households, thanks to a £20,000 investment from Ongo Homes to Ongo Communities. Originally allocated to provide flooring for 30 properties over the course of a year, the funding has already exceeded expectations, supporting 44 homes in just six months and demonstrating the overwhelming need and demand for this kind of support. South Bank Carpets, led by Nabeel, has been the flooring supplier throughout the project. In a generous act of social value, Nabeel has agreed to provide flooring for two additional homes, covering two rooms in each, completely free of charge. This gesture not only extends the reach of the project but also highlights the strength of local partnerships and the goodwill of community-minded businesses. Nabeel Ahmed, Owner of South Bank Carpets said, “We are thrilled to see that our business has made a positive contribution to the community. Supporting the community through donations and providing services at the lowest possible margin is a fundamental part of our core business policy. As a company, we firmly believe that the interests of the company and the community are closely aligned. The community supports and sustains us, and in return, we are committed to giving back and supporting the community. We truly appreciate your acknowledgement of our donation. While this contribution may be modest, we are aiming to take on more projects in the future so that we can continue to contribute meaningfully to our society.” Kevin Hornsby, Director of Customer Services at Ongo said, “This is a fantastic example of what can be achieved when local organisations and businesses work together. The generosity shown by Nabeel and South Bank Carpets is a testament to the power of partnership and the real social value it can deliver.” The Improving Lives project continues to demonstrate how targeted investment, community collaboration, and local goodwill can make a lasting difference in people’s lives.
