Plus Dane Housing has invested £500,000 to give its supported accommodation a new lease of life.
The housing association began an uplift project before the pandemic, and work was able to begin again this spring. It owns and runs a number of sheltered schemes across Merseyside and Cheshire, and has now completed work in eight residences. Improvements included painting and redecorating communal areas, and updating the furniture in scheme lounges.
Director of Housing, Howard Cover said: “Our schemes were looking a little tired and in need of modernisation, so we are really pleased to have finally had the opportunity to give eight of them a much-needed uplift. Feedback from residents has been really positive too, with more people making use of the communal areas as a result.
“This has been a really worthwhile investment that has involved a great deal of work and effort from a number of our teams and partner organisations.”
Plus Dane customers have provided great feedback on the uplift:
“Beautiful furniture, excellent quality, it has given us a great lift.”
“I’m proud to bring in my friends. I think you have excelled, thank you!”
“…renews your faith in the fact the landlord really does wish to
please its tenants and their promises to us.”
“The refurbishment is fabulous… Complete transformation.”
Plus Dane worked with partner organisations Penny Lane Builders and FRC Group on the project.
