From all of us at Housing 21, we hope you have a Merry Christmas.🎅

Joanne Swan, one of our Housing and Care Managers and a recipient of a British Empire Medal on this year's Queen's Honour's List, has been busy lifting the spirits of our #ExtraCare residents at Fountain Court over the festive period🎄 thesun.co.uk/news/13495292/… @TheSun

We won Best older people’s landlord at the @UKhousingawards! 🏆 We are thrilled to be recognised as an organisation playing a vital part in the provision of housing and support to older people. Find out more about what we do in our new corporate video. youtu.be/XqrM4towFO0

Our Chief Executive, Bruce Moore, has won the Leader of the Year (250+ people) category at the @IIP awards! housing21.org.uk/about-us/our-n… #IIPAWARDS20

A new Housing 21 development for people over 55, under #construction in Peterlee, County Durham, is to be named in honour of forces veterans. #ExtraCare housing21.org.uk/about-us/our-n…

We are proud of our roots with @PoppyLegion, beginning by housing disabled ex-servicemen and widows in 1921. We split from the RBL in 1992 to offer housing to all older people, whether they had a service background or not.

Here at Housing 21 we would like to say a big #ThankYou to all our staff. We haven’t taken for granted all the hard work and dedication shown throughout the pandemic. #ThankYouThursday

We employ 3,200 FTE staff & create 30 jobs on average at each new Extra Care scheme we build. Our #CareWorkers are always paid at least 10% above the #NationalLivingWage & we provide business opportunities for caterers and hairdressers at our #ExtraCare schemes #HomesAtTheHeart

We have one of the largest development programmes for older people’s housing in England, 19 schemes currently on site and a commitment to build at least 800 new properties per annum from 2023. Investing in #socialhousing puts #HomesAtTheHeart of a stronger economy

Our new #ExtraCare scheme in Filey, North Yorkshire has now been named ‘Filey Fields Court’! The scheme is being developed in partnership with @ScarboroCouncil, @northyorkscc , as well as construction company @Tolentplc. bit.ly/fileyfields

It’s one week since #hairdressers were allowed to open and our residents are thrilled with their new ‘do’s! Brenda is our oldest resident at Goldfield Court and was feeling fed up with lockdown, but getting a fresh perm has really boosted her spirits! #MondayMotivation

We're saying goodbye to clinical white grab rails and shower curtains and we are working with @themotionspot to provide bathrooms more suited to homes than hospitals in our new schemes. 🛀🚽 Take a look and let us know what you think! housing21.org.uk/about-us/our-n…

Our latest #ExtraCare development in Great Ayton is now complete! Thanks to our partnership with @northyorkscc, @HambletonDC and @Tolentplc, work was able to safely continue to ensure this much needed development was ready on time for the community. housing21.org.uk/about-us/our-n…

2/2 From, dancing, singing and celebrity visits, we really hope can see the true value and difference our #ExtraCare and #RetirementLiving teams bring to people's lives. So, for our very own key workers, today, tomorrow and every day after, a huge and heartfelt THANK YOU! 👏❤️

Each Thursday we have clapped for our carers, cleaners and key workers. After it was announced that today's #clapforourcarers will be the tenth and final one, we feel that it's even more important that we continue to thank them every day for their ongoing support. 1/2

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

As we #clapforourcarers tonight, we would like to introduce you to a new element of our #TodayIWas recruitment campaign. All of our Care Workers are truly real life heroes amid this pandemic and as always we will take to the doorstep to show our gratitude tonight 👏

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

2/2 There’s a reason why it’s called key work, and even during a global pandemic, our staff still go over and above. Who are you clapping for tonight? 👏👏 #clapforourcarers #clapbecausewecare #clapforthenhs #appreciation #clapforkeyworkers
