Group Sponsors Community Award



06 February 2009
Our goal at Shropshire Housing Group is to build sustainable communities, places where people want to live and grow with their families or their friends. Places that are thriving and safe and offer a stable foundation for better lives.   The group has over 4300 families living in the homes provided by its members, Meres and Mosses Housing Association and South Shropshire Housing Association and it is building hundreds more affordable homes over the next few years - homes to rent and homes to buy. But the bricks and mortar represents just one part of the equation. A home is more than a building and a community is more than an estate.   We recognise that we cannot achieve our ambitions for sustainable communities alone, so we work closely with a range of other parties, local councils, the Police and other voluntary organisations. More importantly we work with you – the people who live in the villages and towns which make up our amazing county. Without the input from thousands of volunteers and community groups our neighbourhoods wouldn’t be as vibrant as they are.   That’s why we want to celebrate in the Pride of Shropshire Awards the things that you achieve for your community.   This award is for a voluntary group which has made a difference to people’s lives. It may have been to improve the environment of your estate – litter picking, tree planting, maybe you support local sports teams or run a voluntary transport service for vulnerable people, we want to hear about it.   Shropshire Housing Group is already supporting a whole range of local projects. Over recent years we have sponsored a local boxing club and a netball team. We have helped the South Shropshire Furniture Scheme and we provide financial support to two community centres in the county, we have supported village shops and Post Offices which would disappear without our help and there are dozens of local groups who have benefited.   The Shropshire Housing Group was formed in 2007 and comprises Meres and Mosses Housing Association, operating in the North Shropshire area and South Shropshire Housing Association operating in South Shropshire, Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth and Hereford. Between them these two housing associations own more than 4300 homes. The third partner in the Group, Total Response Ltd is a specialist provider of building repairs and maintenance services. Working for the Group and a variety of other landlords, Total Response Ltd provides a comprehensive range of buildings services and is registered with both CORGI and NICEIC.
