Horizon Housing has been praised by an MSP for sponsoring the first-ever Accessibility and Inclusion Award at the Scottish Home Awards 2024.
A parliamentary motion to the Scottish Parliament submitted by Jeremy Balfour MSP also notes Horizon’s upcoming Housing and Social Care Accessibility Summit at the V&A in Dundee on September 26, to be held in partnership with Scottish Housing News with support from Campion Homes.
The inaugural winner of the Accessibility and Inclusion Award was announced at the Scottish Home Awards in June.
Primrose Place, Alloa, a partnership between Campion Homes and Kingdom Housing Association, became the first winner of the prestigious award which seeks to raise awareness of accessibility and inclusion in housing design.
