Working #Twogether for the Common Good

Last week we hosted a roundtable event with Common Good Gloucestershire at our Rivers Meet office in Newent.

Common Good Gloucestershire is a network of people and groups from across the County that are working together to explore practical and creative ways to strengthen civil society. Set up by Pippa Jones MBE, the group aims to bring people together to influence how civil society is valued and resourced – making it easier and more rewarding for those who take part.

In the session the group considered the role that housing plays as the foundation of a happy, healthy life and the contribution the people and organisations in the room can make.

This is a subject very close to our hearts. As a community-based housing provider, we understand that the role we play in our neighbourhoods goes far beyond the bricks and mortar in our homes. It was a fantastic morning and a great way to share ideas and generate new thinking.

By working #Twogether with organisations like Common Good Gloucestershire, we are building a strong network of likeminded people that we can work alongside to better support our tenants and the wider communities we serve.
