What's New?

Handbook for Residents of Sheltered Accommodation

Our new 'Handbook for Residents of Sheltered Accommodation' is about to go out to all residents living in our sheltered housing properties.  The handbook is full of up to date information about what residents can expect from living in our sheltered housing.  The guide includes lots of information on services provided by our Mobile Support Officers and Scheme Managers, as well as useful telephone numbers and information on our community centres.  All existing residents will shortly receive a copy of the handbook from their Scheme Manager or Mobile Support Officer and all new residents will receive one on signing up for their new property.
