Meet Morgan, a resident at Avalon Court, our supported living apartments for adults with a physical or learning disability. Morgan has a story that reminds us why the right support can change everything.

Before moving to Avalon Court, life looked very different for him. Today, with the encouragement of our colleagues and the people around him, Morgan has grown in confidence, independence, and hope for his future.

His journey is one to be proud of.

This week marks Learning Disability Week.

Our Customer Experience team, together with our Supported Housing colleagues, hosted a focus group workshop that brought customers together to share their experiences and offer valuable feedback.

The session focused on identifying clear actions and insights that will help us continue improving how we support customers with learning disabilities.

Hearing their stories of resilience, change, and growing independence was a powerful reminder of why we remain committed to delivering the best possible experience.

🌈 In honour of Pride Month, we welcomed Christian Owens, Founder of GenderSpaceUK, to lead a powerful session on gender identity and share his own story with colleagues.

Christian’s story sparked meaningful conversations and deepened our understanding of the importance of inclusion.

At Orwell, we believe that sharing lived experiences helps us grow together, supporting our colleagues and the communities we serve.

Loneliness Awareness Week šŸ’š

This week is a reminder that loneliness can affect anyone, but none of us have to face it alone.

At Orwell, building connected, supportive communities is at the heart of what we do. Across our housing, care and support services, our teams help people feel seen, valued and part of something bigger.

A small check‑in, a friendly chat or a shared activity can make a real difference.

It’s Volunteers’ Week!

Colleagues from our Development team spent time volunteering at FIND Ipswich food bank, supporting the team with a range of tasks throughout the day.

Greg, Orwell’s Assistant Director of Development, reflected on the experience:
ā€œIt was a really enjoyable, rewarding day and it was great to learn more about the fantastic work they do. We all took on a variety of tasks, both physical and mental.ā€

Volunteers play an important role across Orwell. To find out how to get involved, visit: https://www.orwell-housing.co.uk/work-with-us/volunteer-with-us/

Tour of Estates 2026 šŸ” 🚌

Last week’s annual Tour of Estates took Board members and colleagues across Suffolk to see new developments, recent investments and upcoming projects.

Stops included the newly acquired Hanford Road site, St Anne’s House/Place, Broad Oke, and new homes in development on Old Norwich Road. After meeting residents and colleagues at Crane Hill Lodge, the group visited Wyseman Place for an update on net‑zero improvements.

The day wrapped up with visits to shared ownership and rental properties at Lawford Green and Great Bromley, showcasing a mix of new, affordable and sustainable housing across the region.
