Company Performance Metrics
Fusion Housing are a non-profit making charity working to help individuals in Kirklees who are experiencing housing related problems and need support with learning and employment.
Fusion Housing was created in 2010 but its roots in Kirklees go back much further. Fusion Housing grew out of the joining of SHAP which supported young people to be
able to successfully maintain and keep their tenancies, and CHAS who’s basis in Kirklees was providing housing advice.
As the organisation has grown the services they provide has developed. Currently they run:
A range of support services for young people across Kirklees, including Young Parents, Refugees and Asian Women.
They have a Bond Bank scheme to help individuals that do not have children, and on low income and who are in band C/D/E with the council to secure a private rented property in the Kirklees area. (subject to meeting their bond bank criteria and background checks)
You can access advice and specialist Legal Help in Housing matters and representation at the local county courts at Housing Possession hearings.
They provide a range of informal and accredited learning opportunities, information, advice and guidance to support young people into education, employment and training.
Weekly work clubs are held in Dewsbury and Huddersfield to assist jobseekers of all ages to find, apply and get into work.
Their Recycling Project ‘Think Smart Recycle' provides recycled furniture and white goods free to people on low incomes. This service is run in partnership and can be accessed in different ways depending on your circumstances. Fusion can only make a referral directly for its own current clients.
Their 'Think Smart Recycle' charity shop in Dewsbury is also a new and affordable way of accessing goods for both you and your home.
They are also a base for North Kirklees food bank and you can access food packs from their shop base in Dewsbury or from their partner agencies that may be more local to you.
