We’re excited to announce that our St Martins Development has won Inside Housing’s Best Partnership category at the 2024 Inside Housing Development Awards.
St Martins is a collaborative development between The Regenda Group, M&Y Maintenance and Construction, Redwing, the Parish Church Council of Broughton, and Paddock Johnson Partnership.
In September 2023, we completed a build of 14 new homes for the St Martins development, comprising five three-bedroom houses and nine two-bedroom apartments, and a new chapel and community hall for Broughton Parish on the site on the site of the former St. Martin’s Parish Centre.
Inside Housing shared:
“St Martins demonstrates real creativity in thinking around ways to use community engagement to support the wider success of the scheme. It provides an excellent example of partnership working to deliver social value and the judges were impressed by the opportunities the scheme provides to bring the community together”
By collaborating with the Church, local community, and our subcontractors, we delivered over £588k in social impact initiatives!
Staff from across The Regenda Group and M&Y Maintenance and Construction used volunteering days to help with planting and landscaping for the chapel building, donations to local food banks and spend within the local supply chain.
Engaging with local schools enabled us to connect young people with the world of regeneration and sustainable construction as a career.
Once the development was completed, a community planting day was organised so that members of the parish, residents of the new homes and the people from local community could contribute to the completion of the development and share in the celebrations for this new hub of the community.
Gill Kelly, Managing Director at M&Y Maintenance and Construction said:
“I am so proud of each and every development we work on, but St Martins really has been special. Our construction team has been fully immersed in the local community, generating £588k in social value activity and using local labour where we could. I am delighted to see the completion of this incredible addition to the local community.”
