The Stockport Homes 2021/2022 annual report is led by our customers.

Their input has helped to shape the video's look, feel and content - making sure the services that matter most are at the forefront of the report. In light of this, the video is broken down into six chapters to help you find information easily and accessibly.

Chapter 1: Welcome - Intro from Helen McHale, Chief Executive, and Jenny Osbourne, Chair of the board 
Chapter 2: My Money - How we spend and utilise money, and support customers with finances 
Chapter 3: My Home  - Building safety, repairs and developments across the borough 
Chapter 4: My My Piece of Mind - Supporting tenants as a responsible landlord 
Chapter 5: My Journey - How customers have influenced Stockport Homes services 
Chapter 6: My Voice Makes a Difference - Get involved over the coming year

The theme for the report is the rising cost of living and how we are supporting customers through this difficult and uncertain time. If you would like further information on the support available, or to provide feedback on our services to help them continue to improve, please get in touch with our team below.
