A little bit about us

A little bit about us

We are a housing association formed in July 2002, operating in Cheshire and Warrington, owning more than 6,400 homes, plus garages, shops, community play areas, and green open spaces. The homes are spread across a large area of Cheshire and Warrington. We are committed to doing all we can to improve people’s quality of life and have a clear vision for our future, which places people at the heart of all we do by investing in our colleagues, customers, assets, services, neighbourhoods, and communities.

The Trust is also committed to building new homes by as we strive to deliver much-needed affordable new homes in Cheshire and Warrington. All new homes are built to high standards of energy efficiency, with many including the latest technology to help lower customer energy bills and reduce the impact on the environment.

Our Support Teams deliver a range of services focused on supporting customers to thrive in their communities. In 2022/23 our Money Matters Team delivered more than £4Million in Income Gains for our customers. These figures represent a 25% increase in support provided, compared to the previous financial year (2021-2022). The Money Matters Team’s specialist advisers provide practical support and guidance for customers who are having trouble making ends meet, experiencing difficulties with benefits, or falling behind on rent.

As a landlord we are determined to not just build back better, but crucially build back fairer in order to address the growing inequalities that impact our customers and communities daily.

Prior to that, in 2022 we placed Number One in Q1, Q2 and Q3 (housing association listing) to work for in the UK.
