IIP said the award means that the right principles are in place but more than that, it means people and leaders are making active efforts to make sure that there’s real consistency and everyone in the organisation are feeling the effects.

Wellhouse manages over 800 homes and over 50 factored owners and works solely for the benefit of the local community, being run by a group of volunteers who have spent recent years investing in the organisation and their staff. It has significant plans in place for 2023 in relation to community activities working with its partner Easthall Residents Association; environmental improvements working with Scottish Water and others and its plans for new housing working with development agent, Curb.

Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate Wellhouse Housing Association Silver accreditation on We invest in people is a remarkable effort for any organisation, and places Wellhouse Housing Association in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people.”

Maureen Morris, Wellhouse Housing Association chair, said: “the management committee is delighted with this award. We have an unwavering commitment to our community and we value our staff as our strongest asset in achieving this. We are delighted to receive this accreditation, especially coming after Lockdown. We will use it as a platform for continuous improvement.”
