A new look for Lintel Trust
We’re delighted to launch Lintel Trust’s new website and refreshed logo, giving us a clearer and more accessible way to share our work, funding opportunities and the difference we aim to make in communities across Scotland.
Since 1979, Lintel Trust has supported communities connected to Scotland’s social housing sector. While our look has changed, our purpose remains the same: creating opportunities for people living in social housing to live fulfilled lives.
The new logo…
More than a new logo
Our refreshed identity gives Lintel Trust a warmer, clearer and more recognisable presence, reflecting who we are today and our ambitions for the future.
Our new website brings together information about our purpose, funding, partnerships, impact and future opportunities in one place. With clearer navigation, straightforward language and a simpler structure designed to make it easier for housing associations, community organisations, partners and applicants to find the information they need, and understand how to get involved.
Putting Community at the heart of our story
The new website gives us a better platform to tell the stories behind the funding. From larger Community Benefit Fund projects to smaller grants that make a very practical difference, we want to show what can happen when funding, local knowledge and partnership come together.
With a £10,000 grant from SPA’s Community Benefit Fund, tenants at Oliphant Court in Renfrewshire are enjoying a welcoming new outdoor space. Delivered in partnership with Lintel Trust, and supported by additional investment from Paisley Housing Association, the project has transformed unused land around the tower block into a safe, inclusive and nature-friendly community garden.
At the other end of the scale, a £1,000 Lintel Trust Small Grant supported Community Links Scotland’s West Dunbartonshire Energy Advice Service to provide practical starter packs for people moving from homelessness or instability into secure homes. Within six months, 68 tenants had benefited, helping people settle into their new homes and sustain their tenancies.
These are the stories we want our new website to help bring to life.
A platform for what comes next
While our appearance has changed, our purpose has not.
We believe communities understand their own needs and should be supported to develop local solutions. Our role is to listen, work in partnership and help turn community benefit into meaningful activity, whether that is reducing isolation, building skills, strengthening household resilience or creating opportunities for people to take part in community life.
The launch marks an important step in Lintel Trust’s ambition to raise our profile, build stronger relationships with partners and share the impact of the work we support more effectively. Our developing strategy puts the new website and stronger storytelling at the heart of improving how we communicate who we are and the difference our funding makes.
“Our refreshed brand is about much more than a new look. It gives us a stronger platform to explain who we are, share the difference our partners and supported projects are making, and build new relationships across communities in Scotland.”
