We're invested in our communities

Last year we supported nearly 6,500 children, young people, adults, families and professionals in activities aimed at promoting social inclusion by tackling the issues of domestic abuse and homelessness.

Between 2018-2019 we built 23 new homes and took ownership of 59 homes from Bromford Housing. 

Last year, more than 191 of our volunteers spent more than 2,000 hours supporting people in the communities we serve, either by supporting people at risk of homelessness and helping people remain independent at home.

Last year, we delivered our Relationships Without Fear Programme across 38 primary and secondary schools across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.

Sometimes giving people a happy home means building them brick by brick from scratch. 

We're building a mix of 2 and 3 bed affordable homes across several sites in Staffordshire and Cheshire. 

“The development is brilliant and it is not happening before time. Some days we would go out and come back to furniture dumped on the site!”

From a variety of social events in Staffs Housing's  older people's villages, to Revival's befriending scheme, we're bringing people together to create happy communities.

“Before, I was in the house all day and not doing much, it gets a bit depressing. But now I’ve got people coming to see me, it makes it much better. I look forward to the company. We have a chat and a giggle.”

We work with those responsible for domestic abuse to help them learn how to demonstrate love in a safe and healthy way. Our team provides a range of support to the entire family to look after their safety and wellbeing.

"You have given me a better understand of what domestic violence is. It has taught me better ways to deal with my anger and given me better ways to deal with relationships and arguments."

Homelessness isn't just what you see on the streets.

Concrete's work to tackle homelessness sometimes means supporting those at risk of homelessness.

By working with landlords, our staff helps to mediate and find a solution that works for both landlords and tenants.

"Working with Concrete has been a pleasure, as is having a part to play in helping vulnerable people. The team working with the clients are professional and friendly and keep me as a landlord informed of developments and successes.”

Tom, Victoria Place
