Around 55,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK.

Yesterday, we took part in Wear It Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month - the team took part in a sweep stake, and donated towards Breast Cancer Now, the charity behind it.

Cold radiators, no hot water, and a place that never quite warms up. It’s the kind of problem you feel the moment you wake up.

Last winter, when someone’s heating or hot water stopped working, the typical wait for one of our engineers to visit was about a day. About four in five had a visit by the next day.

For the people we house, that’s less time in a cold home. For the councils we work with, it’s less time spent chasing repairs on their behalf.

We have a new Finance Team Leader, and she has just qualified with CIMA.

Cristina joins us with a background in law and will be working with our finance team to keep things running smoothly.

Away from work, she is a horse rider, a Real Madrid supporter and the owner of a chocolate Labrador.

Welcome to the team, Cristina.

£2.9 billion spent on temporary accommodation between April 2025 and March 2026, almost double what it was five years ago.

Swipe through for the three biggest reasons why, and why service is the one thing councils can still control.

Here's the 9 things that stood out to us in September:

We ran our biggest Culture Day yet last month, a full day rather than the half-day mornings we've done in the past. Building towers out of spaghetti, string and marshmallows, pitching ideas as "CEO for the Day" (the best one gets actioned), and changing the way we look at performance, so everyone gets clearer targets and a better sense of how they're doing. A few people landed on the Greggs sausage roll on the prize wheel, so we asked what they'd actually wanted and gave them that instead. It reminded us we're all working towards the same thing, Housing. Done properly.

Five of the team marked another year with us: Joshua D (1 year), Conor G (1 year), Mark S (2 years, our pest control legend), Daniel F (2 years) and Christopher M (2 years).

Three new starters joined too. Cristina as our new Finance Team Leader, Pietro in Property Services, and Olly, back with us after previously working here, straight into finding quicker ways to get properties turned around.

Onwards to October.

Six awards, each voted for by the team.

Legend (Pauline), Compassion (Liz), Teamwork (Rebecca & Jake), Growth (Beni), and Best Newcomer (Emma).

All part of Culture Day, which brought all 50 of us out of the office and into one room. There was also a tower-building contest, and a prize wheel earned through a round of rock, paper, scissors, with an Amazon Echo Show and a £200 holiday voucher on it, or a Greggs sausage roll if the wheel had other ideas.

Congratulations to all our winners, and thank you to everyone who made the day what it was, and what it's building towards. 💚

Bradley joined us in 2024 as a Housing and Property Management apprentice, with no experience in the sector.

He has now passed.

Over eighteen months he took on his own portfolio, worked with councils and occupiers, and got stuck into plenty that was never in the job description.

He is now a Junior Property Manager with us.

We sat down with him to talk about how it went, what he found hard, and what he would say to anyone thinking about starting one.

Congratulations, Bradley. Properly earned.

Two numbers stood out in last week's government homelessness figures.

The first is the worst it has ever been. 177,530 children were living in temporary accommodation in England in March, a figure that has risen every quarter for more than three years.

The second is the best in years. The number of families with children placed in B&Bs has halved since this time last year.

That took years of work from councils under real pressure, and it will get a fraction of the attention the first number does.

Most of those families are in self-contained housing now instead.

Getting a family out of a B&B is progress. It only stays progress if what they move into is genuinely better.

That is the part we spend most of our time on.

Three things about Taylor, our new Finance Apprentice.

He's fresh out of sixth form and working towards his AAT Level 2 and 3 while learning the job.

He doesn't have a fixed role yet. He's spending time with each part of the Finance team, working out what they all do.

Outside work it's football, padel, golf, the gym, and cooking his own meals daily.

Welcome to the team, Taylor.

July didn't have one big moment. It had a dozen small ones. Here's a few of them.

This month, we celebrated three team anniversaries.

Katie (1 year) - reliable without question, and her hard work in growing the business shows.

Nathan (1 year) - hardworking and ambitious, and the one who keeps things running smoothly.

Pauline (9 years) - her personality makes the office a better place to be, every day.

Jordan was our Colleague of the Month, for going above his allocated jobs and stepping up for others.

Our team also joined Innovus' annual Charity Car Wash for Make-A-Wish uk, a charity granting wishes to children diagnosed with a critical illness.

We also made a smaller change with a bigger effect than it sounds like it should have: our bookings form now calculates the bills-included rate automatically, saving clients time on the overall placement process. Not a big update. Just one we hope makes things easier for the councils we work with.

More of the same in August.
