A year in review: how we performed and what we learned - our 2022/23 customer annual report

Corporate

Every year, we produce a customer annual report to share how we’ve performed against the standards you can expect from us.

Last year at a glance

Below is a snapshot of our performance over the past year. You can find more detailed information, in your Customer Annual Report 2022-23.

  • 80% overall customer satisfaction
  • £94.8m invested in improving and maintaining your homes
  • 745 new homes built
  • £2,200 customers helped to access more than £7m in financial support
  • £11.2m generated in social value*
  • £8m government funding allocated for fire safety works
  • 5,800 customers supported with finances, employment, health and wellbeing
  • £700,000 to reduce carbon emissions in our homes.

* What is social value? Social value is a way to measure the impact of our projects. The social value calculator, used across the housing sector, enables us to quantify the value of things such as support for wellbeing and mental health, and to measure the unseen financial value of our services to the people and communities who have used them.

Looking ahead

In July, our Chief Executive Ian Wardle wrote to customers to apologise to those affected and to explain our plans for improvement. What we’ve developed in our action plan is based on your feedback, along with our own insight and research. Take a look at our corporate strategy to find out more.

 Our priorities include:

  • Responding to your queries more quickly, without you needing to chase us
  • Delivering your repairs faster, with fewer visits to fix issues
  • Resolving your complaints more quickly
  • Improving how we deal with anti-social behaviour
  • Maintaining communal areas to a better standard.
