Drum roll, please... 🥁 we're pleased to announce that following a recent inspection by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH), we have achieved a C1 in the new Consumer Standards. We've also maintained our existing Governance (G1) and Financial Viability (V1) ratings, these are the highest available ratings in each category.    This result affirms our commitment to providing safe, high-quality homes and services that deliver good value for money, demonstrating our focus on continuous improvements and doing a great job for customers.   The inspection team from the RSH observed our Board and Committee meetings, met with customers and spent time with the Executive team and Board Members. They reviewed a range of information, data and supporting documents and scrutinised our finances and governance processes.   We know there is more hard work ahead of us in an increasingly challenging operating environment for the sector. We are committed to maintaining this momentum, ensuring we continue to meet the highest standards and deliver lasting value to the communities we serve. 

We're thrilled to have recently participated in the Turbocharging Wolverhampton's Economic Growth podcast alongside key figures shaping the city's transformation, including James Dickens from Wavensmere Homes and Councillor Chris Burden Rebecca Bennett Casserly, our Corporate Director of Development, spoke about our ambitious project at the former Royal Hospital site in Wolverhampton. The transformation into Nightingale House and the surrounding 150+ new homes has been a true partnership-driven success, restoring a historic landmark and enhancing the community. This is just one part of the wider Royal Quarter development, which will deliver 450 new homes, offering a range of affordable housing and supporting community services through the YMCA Black Country Group. The Royal Quarter project is not only revitalizing an area but also boosting the local economy by creating jobs and enhancing connectivity within Wolverhampton.
