Forward Together
Moving forward together as one,
stronger organisation
On 6th June 2011 each of the
boards across Somer Housing Group agreed to simplify what is
currently a complicated and sometimes slow-moving structure of four
separate boards. Find out what this means and why these changes are
happening in the latest Forward Together
newsletter.
Latest news
What’s happening?
- The organisations in Somer Housing Group (Redland, Shape and
Somer Community Housing Trust) have agreed to join together and to
have one Combined Board.
- These changes will not have any effect on what we charge for
our homes. Ownership of your home will remain within Somer Housing
Group – as it is right now.
- It’s business as usual despite these changes. Providing you
with the high-quality services you need remains our top
priority.
- Although we are reducing from four boards down to one, the ways
you can get involved in the running of your organisation will not
be weakened.
And why?
- These changes will help us to become more efficient, more
effective and to give you better services for better value for
money.
- We will be able to reduce duplication and plan for the best
interests of all of our customers.
- Decision-making will be quicker so we will be more
responsive.
- We will be able to think about all of our customers at the same
time.
- We will be able to respond better to a tougher housing
environment which faces big cuts in government funding.
