How to use the colour palette Our secondar colour palette is linked to our business strategies and should be used accordingl. For all documents the whole colour palette can be used to create vibrant communications, however if there is an underling strateg being communicated in the document the relevant colour should be the dominant colour. For example orange is associated with people so a document focusing on Yarlington staff should have a dominant orange colour flowing through. A document with a variet of strateg associations should use a variet of colours and have no single colour dominating.

These lines are a creative device which could be used in various was throughout our documents The lines are closel intertwined to represent the strategies united throughout the different areas of the business. Examples We are dedicated to providing so much more than houses for people to live in. While that still remains at the core of our business, we recognise that our communities need homes not houses, and our focus should be on people not places. our 3 ear strateg explains our approach clearl, and sets out our aims and objectives, and the was we will achieve our ambitious goals. We have made a significant investment in this new approach, part of which is being used to provide the staff we need to deliver the services that are vital to success, and part of which is available to help fund communit projects. We had a Communit Fund with a budget of 100,000 for the financial ear 2011/12 which invited applications from existing or new communit groups or initiatives to help them to deliver their own projects. The needed to show the benefit to the communit, in line with our own aims and objectives, and were monitored so we could be sure that this was achieved. match funding from other sources was encouraged; the projects had to show that the could support themselves in the longer term and were not reliant on Yarlington or other organisations for future funding. 46 Communit Fund applications were supported which ensured that communit projects in excess of 1 million took place, benefitting 24,000 people. We helped 51 elderl residents financiall who were struggling to pa rising fuel bills. Working in partnership with Somerset Communit Foundation, we identified those most need residents and gave them the securit of knowing the could keep warm in the winter. We established communit investment projects working with organisations including Connect South West, Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), Barnardo s, Yeovil College, Federation of Schools, WATCh project Chard, South Somerset voluntar & Communit Action (SSvCA), Somerset Rural Youth project and South Somerset mind. These projects are targeted to individuals who are often isolated or have barriers to getting into emploment or training. onl b having an in-depth knowledge of our communities are we able to identif and help those who are most vulnerable or disengaged. Working in partnership with other organisations gives us a greater impact and the abilit to signpost these people to access the services the need. This approach has alread created or maintained 21 jobs in the local area, demonstrating our commitment to invest in our communities as places where people choose to live, learn and work.
