COMMUNITY LIFE

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR

Cornerstone are passionate about creating buildings that allow individuals to create meaningful connections with their neighbours. We describe it as ‘building community’. We feel that our buildings should facilitate our residents to interact with each other and be connected to their street and wider neighbourhood.

 Motivated to ‘love your neighbour’ with the insight of the need for connection and captured in the phrase “life is better when you’re connected”, Cornerstone’s purpose-built Community Programme, Community Life offers both residents and the local community opportunities to build meaningful relationships.

 We place a community coordinator in each of our developments to oversee pastoral care and a programme of events.

COMMUNITY LIFE

Real Community in our Developments

It is Cornerstone’s ambition to have Community Life Coordinators in all its developments. These individuals will act as a welcoming presence, community coordinators and pastoral care for the residents within the development.

Real Connections with the local community

The Community Life Coordinators will be drawn from the local community and will have excellent local connections to ensure that the residents are effectively immersed in the local community. We will encourage residents to bring real value to their new community through participating in civic activities and volunteering.

Cornerstone to Champion Apartment Life in the UK and Europe

Cornerstone is being supported in this by an incredible American organisation called Apartment Life who deliver residential community programmes to 3 million residents across North America. This programme is recognised as Apartment Life’s first move into Europe. Cornerstone have received the official Apartment Life training and have access to their resources and a wealth of community building experience.

“I am excited about the Cornerstone development in Belfast and the plan to integrate Apartment Life as service to residents and community impact strategy. Many lives will be impacted. Cornerstone has been an excellent partner.”
