Pia Honey 

No Floor No More

"The judges were so impressed by the tenacity of one individual to spot a gap in tenant health and wellbeing and then be motivated to fix it. Pia Honey has done something that other housing providers should look to learn from and replicated. This charity not only benefits individuals but has a wider impact through its focus on sustainability. We are really excited to see where No Floor No More goes, benefiting more tenants but also offering employment and traineeships to the community they serve."

Kynleigh Parker

Lovell

"Kynleigh has displayed fabulous determination and courage to succeed in the face of serious health obstacles and is blazing a trail for young women in construction."

Brighter Futures    

Progress Housing Group

"The judges were impressed by the fact that Progress concentrated its efforts on its tenants – an underutilised and under-represented group when it comes to employment in the sector."  

Origin Housing

Young People's Service

"We chose Origin as team of the year as this entry really moved us. Working particularly with care leavers into sustainable housing is a fantastic service that will fundamentally change the outcome of a young person's life. All too often care leavers are faced with terrible life outcomes as they disappear through the cracks. We feel like this service would be a valuable one for others to adopt and hopefully increase the impact elsewhere. Well done for choosing to work with this group of vulnerable people, providing safe housing as a foundation for their future lives!"

Thriving Communities Team

Orbit Group

"We were impressed by the work the Thriving Communities Team have done, working in partnership with residents, to bring the support they offer into communities. Orbit have tailored their approach to the different needs of their communities, which is already having a positive impact on the levels of engagement from residents, but more importantly on issues like social isolation."

Ben Laryea

Ekaya Housing Association

"Ben tireless dedication to dismantling systemic barriers and securing transformative change within the housing sector is truly inspiring. His innovative initiatives and unwavering commitment to fostering inclusivity and combating racism have made sure his reach goes far beyond the organisation he leads and have set a remarkable standard for leadership in our industry."

Emma Pawsey

Hebron Housing

"Emma is much more than a chief executive. She epitomizes visionary leadership and unwavering dedication in social welfare, housing, and mental health support, fostering resilience, and enabling transformation for vulnerable women at Hebron. Her hands-on approach, determined advocacy, and commitment to individual well-being have created a culture of compassion and empowerment, which shapes lives and communities."

Matthew Harrison

Great Places Housing Group

"Matt's contributions to social housing, community, social purpose, equality and values are endless, he epitomises the transformative potential of social housing - a true housing giant and an inspiration to all housing professionals."
