A TIS triumph for Elderpark
Elderpark Housing Association has been named Housing Association of the year at the TIS National Excellence Awards.
Elderpark Housing Association is celebrating another win in national awards for housing excellence.
It was named Housing Organisation of the Year in a fresh triumph at the TIS National Excellence Awards.
And it comes just weeks after Elderpark won a prestigious accolade in the CIH Scotland Housing Awards 2023 where it scooped the award for “Excellence in Learning and Development.”
The double success caps an excellent 12 months for the Govan-based housing provider having already won - earlier in the year - a TPAS award for its initiative working with local schools.
The Housing Organisation of the Year category – sponsored by Aico – sought to recognise a housing organisation which has “demonstrated an exceptional commitment to embedding tenant participation, scrutiny, and wider community engagement into the culture of the organisation.”
Gary Dalziel, Chief Executive of Elderpark said: “The other finalists Barrhead and Kingdom are excellent examples of successful housing associations and we congratulate them both. We are a local housing association which is part of the community and to be part of the community you have to believe in engaging with our residents, other partners and the wider community in order to deliver anything meaningful.”
Maureen McDonald, Chairperson of Elderpark said “We are thrilled and delighted to have won this award. As a local resident I am proud of the work we do in the community and it’s a great honour for me to be Chairperson of the association in what has been an incredible year for Elderpark with this, our third award win in just a few months.”
“This success is down to the passion, commitment and hard work of all our exceptional staff and a dedicated Management Committee. I would like to express my thanks to everyone of them who commit every day to making the organisation the best it can be.”
“A special mention must also go to our Community Regeneration Officer, Jonathan Giddings-Reid who was also a finalist for the ‘Outstanding Contribution to Tenant Participation’ category. Jonathan been pivotal in the association working with the local community over the last year and his enthusiasm is something to behold.”
The TIS National Excellence Awards were held at Glasgow’s Grand Central Hotel and were part of the two-day TIS National Housing Conference.
