Creating strong communities to solve the UK housing crisis

In the featured article below, The Bishop of Manchester, The Right Revd David Walker, Chair of WCHG highlights the need to build more homes as current need is not being met.

The debate however highlights building new homes is only the start, it’s about sustaining communities feeding into the Groups vision to create communities where people choose to live and work, having pride in their homes and services.

WCHG has an impressive development portfolio to accommodate older people and young families, enabling them to stay within their family networks where they will receive care and support and be able to manage the demands of work and family life

The Bishop of Manchester goes onto say “Bricks and mortar can create a sound home, and truly affordable rents make it practicable to live in, but it’s only when these are combined with care and attention to the human element of our communities that we can make a great place”.
