Community Awards

Friday 21st October 2011

Each year we like to recognise the people who have really made a difference in their community. It is our way of saying thank you for all the hard work that has been put in by those individuals who make their communities a better place to live, give help and support to their neighbours and help to improve the lives of other tenants. We also recognise a member of A1 Housing staff who has gone above and beyond their day to day roles and responsibilities. Pictured below are all our winners and why we believe they are true champions.
Community Champion Craig Anderson is a role model for our younger tenants. He is a member of his local Tenants and Residents Association and is a driving force behind making his community a nicer place to live. He has also played a big part in creating and maintaining a communal garden which is enjoyed by all the community.
Tenant's Champion This is not the first time Roy Hewitt has won this award and it is easy to see why. He works tirelessly to support his own community as a Tenant Voice, is a key member of the Bassetlaw Association of Tenants & Residents Association and is a Tenant Board Member. He has also helped to secure funding of over £120,000 for projects across Bassetlaw that have developed gardens and play areas.
Anti-Social Behaviour Champion Janet Flynn has worked individually and as part of a team to reduce anti-social behaviour in her home town of Harworth. She campaigns for improvements to her community that will deter ASB and has shown her determination to achieve her aims. She is a fabulous ambassador for her town and is a prominent member of her TRA.
Good Neighbour Award Larwood House resident Jean Blakemoor was nominated for this award by her neighbours and Warden Julie McLaughlin. They described her as: "A diamond, she has gone above and beyond the role of a good neighbour." Living in a Sheltered Scheme, Jean has ensured that over a number of years two of her less able neighbours do not miss out on any of the events that go on in her scheme. This neighbourly gesture means they have not been left isolated their flats and in some cases have been given a new lease of life.
Managing Director's Award As one of the founding members of A1 Housing's Branching Out team Carl Dickenson has used his experience and expertise in landscaping gardening to make this new venture the success it is today. His friendly, patient and hands-on approach has also allowed a young team of colleagues to benefit from this experience, learning new skills every day, as well as creating many happy customers who have praised Carl for his professionalism and quality of work.
