Since WDH was established in 2005, we have gone from strength to strength. We are now one of the UK’s largest social housing providers and the biggest provider in Wakefield, with over 32,000 homes across the district and the wider region. However, we deliver more than just housing and have expanded the range of services we provide to our tenants, stakeholders and communities to offer support where it is needed. As we continue to develop and grow we are looking for people who want to make a difference to the lives of people across the Wakefield district and beyond, by helping us to shape the services we deliver to a wide variety of customers. We are more than a typical landlord and we are looking to create more than your typical Board. We are looking for Board members who can bring insight and experience from our communities to help us to provide what our customers and communities need.

Customer experience specialists, TLF Research, will shortly be undertaking WDH’s annual tenant satisfaction survey. However, before they start this, because so much has changed in the last six months due to COVID-19, they are carrying out a short survey that aims to explore what is important to our customers.

Throughout the global Coronavirus pandemic, we have been doing what we can to make sure that our tenants are supported to feel safe and secure in their own homes. Many of us have found ourselves spending more time living, working, caring and teaching from home and it has become more important than ever that we feel safe and secure.

We are supporting Tpas (Tenants Participation Advisory Service) Scrutiny Week this week and as always, we are looking for new people to be involved with us.

It was inspiring this week to see our employees recognised, alongside so many other local heroes, as part of 'The Big Thank You' campaign. Local editions of the Wakefield Express praised our employees and those groups and individuals continuing to support the district during the coronavirus pandemic. Our employees have gone over and above to support our communities throughout the crisis in very difficult times, so it is fantastic to see them getting the recognition they so rightly deserve.
