Our purpose is to help people who are struggling to find a place to live. We help our customers to stay in their homes comfortably, so that they can live the life they choose.
Westmill Community Association is dedicated to supporting our local residents. In 2018 the committee felt there was a need for a defibrillator, accessible to all , so a huge effort was made by the community to raise the £1800 needed.
Our Friendship club made generous donations. The Hitchin Community Choir held a concert and donated the proceedings. Nearly new sales and crowdfunding efforts, along with support from neighbours on the Westmill Estate meant that we raised the funds in a year. Working together the defibrillator was installed and registered in 2020. The Defibrillator is located on the outside of the building near the main entrance.
You can talk about your issue with a trained adviser online. We’ll try to help you solve your problem or make good progress towards it. In some cases, we might need to send you to your local Citizens Advice or a specialist organisation.
Chat’s usually available 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. It’s not available on public holidays.

If you’ve experienced a hate crime or hate incident, you can report it to the police, or you can come to us to report it. One of our trained staff will help you through the process. You can also report it if you saw a hate crime happen to someone else.
If you’re not sure if what happened was a hate crime, you can check if something is a hate crime.
When you report the incident, we will record what happened, then follow up with the police on your behalf.
The police might also investigate if you’ve experienced more than one hate incident – for example, if someone keeps harassing you. If you’re in this situation, you should report each incident to the police so they have a record.
If you don’t want to go to the police yourself, you can come to us to report it for you
In an emergency, you should call 999.
