🏠 Protect what matters most at home

As your landlord, we insure the building – but your personal belongings are your responsibility. That’s why we’re reminding customers about our home contents insurance scheme, designed specifically for FCHO customers.

👖From furniture and clothing to electrical items, contents insurance helps protect your belongings from risks like fire, theft and water damage.

🤝We have teamed up with Thistle Tenant Risks, to offer a Home Contents Insurance Scheme, designed specifically for customers in social housing.

😟It’s not compulsory, but it could save you a lot of stress and unexpected costs if something goes wrong.

⚽ Keep fire safety part of your matchday lineup

As the World Cup excitement builds, don’t let fire risks increase in your home. Whether you’re cooking indoors, firing up the BBQ or setting up your tech for the big game, a few simple checks can help keep your home and loved ones safe.

✅ Test your smoke alarms
✅ Never leave cooking or BBQs unattended
✅ Keep BBQs well away from buildings, fences and anything flammable
✅ Avoid overloading sockets

Small actions can make a big difference, so you can focus on enjoying every game and every goal safely. 🙌

🏡 First social rent and shared ownership handovers at Fitton Hill

🙌We are pleased to announce that we have handed over four new properties at Fitton Hill - the start of a summer of new homes for social rent and shared ownership to complete at the site.

🏘️They are among the 29 affordable homes being built for us by Vistry on the former school site at Rosary Road.

📅After that, three to four houses will be handed over every week until all 29 three and four-bedroom homes are with us by mid July.

ℹ️This is part of a wider £15.7 million investment in 101 new homes across two sites – our second largest development to date. It also supports our ambition to build at least 600 new homes in our communities in the coming years.

🚧 Work is already underway on the nearby greenfield site, which will deliver a further 72 homes by the end of 2027.
