St Martins shortlisted for Northern Housing Awards | News

Our St Martins development has been shortlisted for Housing Partnership of the Year at the Northern Housing Awards!

We collaborated with our colleagues at M&Y Maintenance and Construction and The Regenda Group, along with the Parish Church Council of Broughton to deliver affordable housing options and an energy-efficient new-build chapel and parish hall in Fulwood, Preston.

St Martins comprises of five three-bedroom houses and nine two-bedroom apartments for Rent to Buy.  Our bespoke marketing campaign and dedicated team secured a 100% off plan reservation rate. The new homes offered an affordable step on to the property ladder for local residents in an area where house prices are high.

In addition to the properties, the new chapel and parish hall included improved energy-efficiency and accessible facilities for the community, which is regularly used by groups including a youth group, choir, knitting group, a range of training courses and is open as a Warm Welcome Space each week.

The new homes, chapel and parish hall were built by M&Y Maintenance and Construction.

As part of The Regenda Group, Redwing are a profit-for-purpose organisation with a shared vision to regenerate places and create opportunities for people. By collaborating with the Church, local community, and our subcontractors, together we delivered over £588k in social impact initiatives (including local spend, volunteer hours, donations, and school visits) that will benefit generations to come. 

The partnership with the Parish gave a focus to the social value outcomes from the development, including volunteering days for Redwing, Regenda and M&Y staff to help with planting and landscaping for the chapel building, donations to local food banks and spend within the local supply chain.  Throughout the project we visited local schools to connect with young people and open up careers in the world of construction and regeneration.
