The Housing Support Team at MCC Housing Services offer support to some of the most vulnerable residents in the community including care leavers transitioning into their first tenancy.
For many of these members of the community moving into a first home can be overwhelming particularly when having to manage the cost of basic household necessities.
This is why the Housing Support Team reached out to our repairs partners, Equans, to support with providing the tenants with New Tenancy Starter Packs.
These Starter Packs help make a house a home, enabling them to cook, clean and take pride in their home and themselves. These include essential household items such as an air fryer, kettle, toaster, toiletries and cleaning products.
After previously supporting this cause, Equans knew the significant impact these packs have on individuals living in North Manchester and have donated £5000 through the Equans Community Fund to help benefit up to 100 new tenants.
After visiting MCC Housing Services it was evident after speaking to staff who work alongside these residents how fantastic this initiative is, aiding residents to get on the right track, improving their life chances and enabling them to live healthier more prosperous lives.
