Saying thank you – with food, in Wilkinson Avenue, Broseley

News from our partners – Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing

Residents living at Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing’s (STAR Housing) sheltered housing scheme on Wilkinson Avenue in Broseley work tirelessly to support each other and make sure the surroundings of where they live are in tip-top condition.

STAR Housing couldn’t let this community spirit go unrecognised, so it laid on a tea party to thank them for their continued hard work.

Residents and STAR Housing officers celebrate at Wilkinson Avenue in Broseley.

Yvonne Silk, Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing’s Housing Support Officer, said:

“I have been covering this scheme for almost a year now and can honestly say it is a pleasure to come to work – their community spirt is inspirational, and it’s all year round.

“Last week two of the residents cleared all of the paths of snow and ice for everyone and few of them cut the hedges down recently as the tenant in the property was not able to do it himself. They also shop for one another.

“It’s truly amazing how they support each other and we were pleased to do something to recognise this.”
