Care and Support
The annual event is a chance for housing associations around the UK to showcase the vital role care and support services play in the community.
Cllr Norman was full of praise for the dedication shown by care and support colleagues and was given a guided tour of the facility and services available to young people.
The award-winning scheme provides 27 units of accommodation for young people and young parents aged between 16 and 24 within Newbury.
Cllr Norman said: “I’ve never met a bunch of staff more enthusiastic or passionate about what they do. I’ve met several of the young people who live here and they all seem really happy, so it’s a great place to be.”
Jo Evans, Director of Specialist Housing, said: “We are proud to celebrate the value of care and support services and the difference that having a safe and secure place to call home can make to people’s lives.
“This year is incredibly poignant as our frontline care and support team provided vital services during two years of the pandemic and now in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, our services are more important than ever.”
Bramlings House is designed to create a safe and nurturing environment and staff aim to support the young people to develop the life skills they need to move on, either to privately rented accommodation or social housing.
The site was awarded the TPAS ‘Excellence in Engagement in Support and Care’ in 2021.
