The Good Practice Awards winners 2022!

Find out more about their incredible work and achievements. 

What a night! After 2 years away, on the 6^th July, Staff and Tenants were able to join together at a very special Awards ceremony at the Jurys Inn, Cardiff to celebrate some of the inspirational best practice in Welsh housing.

Now that the winners have been announced we are busy pulling together our Awards Good Practice Report to share learning and ideas - as these awards aren’t just celebratory, they are also about sharing best practice and inspiring others.
