Catherine Ryder CEO, and Matthew Walker Chair enjoyed a tour of the scheme and spent time with two very welcoming tenants, gaining valuable insight into what it’s really like to live at Swallowtail Place.
The visit was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the difference that schemes like Swallowtail can make to people’s lives.
The visit also allowed for great conversations around collaborative and partnership working, highlighting how, together, we can help provide much needed homes for tenants to live safely, with care if they need it, whilst retaining their independence.
James Francis, CEO at Saffron said: “It’s been a pleasure to welcome PlaceShapers to Swallowtail Place and showcase this incredible scheme. It was great to hear directly from tenants, bringing to life the real impact of what we do. It also highlighted how key these visits are, as we continue to work together to support thriving and inclusive communities.”
Matthew Walker, Chair at PlaceShapers added: “I find myself being impressed every time I visit a place-shaping housing association like Saffron. I invariably see values-led leadership, a dedicated staff team and a laser-like focus on doing the right thing and helping shape the places where their customers live. Saffron is another great example of this.”
