Hello and welcome Thrive’s latest updates

I'm pleased to introduce this newsletter with good news. This year we have upgraded over 1,200 homes (100 more than planned) with things like new kitchens, bathrooms, heating systems and windows and secured additional funding to make even more homes warmer and energy efficient. 

Over 70% of our tenants have now received a Home Plan visit too, which is helping us to proactively maintain our homes and provide better support to those who need it. This is an important part of helping us make careful decisions about how we spend our money.  

We're also proud to share that 50% of households are now part of Thrive Customer Voice, with 698 customers influencing our services last year. 
 
In the coming year, we'll continue improving home efficiency and pay special attention to areas where you've suggested we can do better. 


Please share your thoughts and suggestions for our next newsletter - we'd love to hear from you! 
 
We hope you’re enjoying the recent spring weather and watch out for your postal newsletter in June. 
  
Best regards, 

Jo Barrett 
Executive Director Operations

  • Fire kills!

    Clear communal spaces can save lives by preventing the spread of fire. 

    If we find items left outside your home, we'll remove them and give you 28 days to recover them before they are disposed of for good. 

    It's a hassle and a cost to you, so please keep your belongings inside your home.
