We are a community based Housing Association with a commitment to improve the lives of tenants and residents in South Manchester. You can find out more about our Community Investment activities by reading our Annual Report
We joined the group to pick up and share good practice with other like-minded organisations. We believe that the sector as a whole has more of a voice, and can better influence policy decisions at a national level if we are seen to be working collaboratively and co-operatively."
"Whilst some societal scars may last longer than the virus itself, there has been an explosion of energy, compassion, collaboration and innovation, which as a sector we have a continued role and responsibility to help harness, support and foster." We agree @LonghurstGroup https://t.co/aBgNzsWGnO
