A long and rich history in our local communities

Pathways is a modern and forward-thinking organisation with roots in its work to improve and enhance communities dating back to the seventeenth century.

Affordable and high-quality sheltered housing

Pathways manage sheltered housing schemes across eight London boroughs and one in Kent, helping older people to live independently in secure surroundings and enjoy a good quality of life.

Building stronger communities through grant funding

Pathways award grants to organisations working to strengthen local communities in Ealing and Brentford.

Helping disadvantaged young people realise their potential

Through the Hopes and Dreams programme, Pathways awards grant funding to help young people to realise their aspirations and work towards fulfilling their dreams. In 2011 we also established Cultivate London to provide training in horticulture and business skills to long term unemployed young people.

Allotment space for urban farming

Pathways own allotment sites at two locations in West Ealing. These both are made up of a total of 237 plots, providing a place for people to practice "urban farming".

Providing opportunities to make a difference

Whether you're interested in donating, fundraising, or volunteering there are many ways for you to get involved in helping Pathways to help communities move forward.

Pathways is a not-for-profit organisation working to help communities and individuals through the provision of housing, grant funding, and youth and community projects.

Pathways is extremely proud of its long history in providing affordable accommodation, predominantly for older people, and assistance to local people and communities that dates back to several centuries ago. We are very proud of our rich heritage but we are also a forward thinking organisation that is eager to adapt to the needs of our beneficiaries in changing times. Over the last few years Pathways has expanded on a large scale, allowing us to help people in need from communities across Greater London and the surrounding areas to find safe, secure, affordable and well maintained sheltered accommodation in their older age.

Housing

Pathways have a long history in providing almshouse accommodation to the community dating back to our roots from the seventeenth century. We are proud of this heritage and strive to be forward thinking and adaptable in our approach to providing sheltered housing for older people in the areas where we work while staying true to our founding principles. Pathways manage more than 250 sheltered housing units across London and Kent, 6 general needs housing units in West Ealing, and a row of commercial units in Ealing. Pathways also manage fifty-two private let properties in Ealing on behalf of the Marr Munning Trust.

Community

Pathways are dedicated to being a valuable member of the local communities based where we work to provide housing, volunteering opportunities, community projects or grant funding. Since 2004, in Ealing and Brentford Pathways have provided grant funding to small charities and community groups in the local area who work to help disadvantaged people or create stronger bonds between members of the community. In 2014, to celebrate 10 years of grant giving we launched the Hopes and Dreams programme, specifically for the benefit of helping disadvantaged young people in Ealing and Brentford realise and work towards their dreams and aspirations.

Allotments

Pathways provide a large amount of allotment space for the local community at two sites in West Ealing. The two sites are based at Haslemere Avenue and Northfields Avenue. This allotment space contributes to our work to build a stronger community, encourages healthy living and provides the opportunity for people to practice horticulture and urban farming. In total we have approximately 260 plots that we let every year at a very low cost and exclusively to members of the local community, providing a valuable local resource and community asset that encourages community cohesion, and healthy, sustainable living.
