We’re proud to announce that we have signed up to the LGBTQ+ Housing Pledge – a national scheme created by HouseProud and delivered by Stonewall Housing. The pledge invites all social housing providers to demonstrate their commitment to LGBTQ+ resident equality and support.

By signing the pledge, SHG is formally demonstrating our dedication to creating inclusive, welcoming neighbourhoods where all customers feel respected and valued.

Sam Conroy, Chair of the SHG Proud Network, and Anila Khalid, Executive Sponsor, said:

“We are delighted to sign up to the pledge to show SHG’s commitment to our LGBTQ+ customers.”

HouseProud was established in 2014 as a network for LGBTQ+ people working within the social housing sector. It brings together a wide range of organisations including housing associations, ALMOs, local authorities and care providers. Its key aims are to provide networking opportunities for LGBTQ+ staff, to campaign on LGBTQ+ related issues, and to ensure excellent services for LGBTQ+ customers.

Stockport Homes is a proud and active member of HouseProud North and is honoured to be an annual sponsor of Stockport Pride. We are looking forward to attending Stockport Pride again this year and continuing to champion inclusivity within our communities.

We strive for the best possible service for LGBTQ+ residents and believe everybody deserves a safe, welcoming home where they can freely express themselves without fear or prejudice. Through supporting this scheme, we're demonstrating our commitment to giving LGBTQ+ residents a say in the decisions that affect them.
