In six weeks of lockdown we've helped our residents in many different ways

In the six weeks of lockdown we have helped thousands of our residents.

  • We have carried out carried out 1,260 emergency repairs.

  • Called over 1,800 vulnerable residents to check on their welfare and helped them accordingly.

We're still here to help you:

  • with money, energy and employment advice;
  • to carry out emergency repairs;
  • with some ground's maintenance work;
  • stay safe – our Community Safety Team continues to work with you and the police;
  • make sure you home is safe – electrical and gas safety checks continue;
  • get all the help and support you need to sustain your tenancies and stay well.

We've also been:

  • making creative use of technology;
  • creating community art projects;
  • supporting partners in local authorities and the Health Board.
