What a fantastic day on Afton last week, as residents, partners and colleagues came together for another successful Spruce Up Your Streets event.

Our Environmental teams had already been out preparing the area, but there was still plenty to do. Thanks to a amazing turnout, every job was tackled with real energy and enthusiasm.

The impact:

🗑️ 2 skips filled with unwanted household items
🛍️ 20 bags of rubbish cleared
🚶‍♂️ Pathways edged and improved
🌿 11 wheelbarrows of green waste removed
🚚 Fly-tipping cleared

A huge thank you to AKM Homes, the Youth Justice Service, and our brilliant colleagues behind the scenes who helped make the day such a success 👏

From apprentices and learners to our Workplace Safari students, so many colleagues have embraced new opportunities during Learning at Work Week and we couldn’t be prouder.

This week we were especially excited to welcome our first ever Workplace Safari students. Over the past five days, students explored different teams across Halton Housing, met colleagues from across the organisation, and got a real feel for the wide range of careers in our sector.

Alongside this, we celebrated our amazing apprentices, colleagues working towards professional qualifications, and those taking part in specialist training programmes, all bringing fresh ideas, new skills and real passion to their roles.

It’s been a brilliant week full of learning, connection and inspiration. Catch up on the highlights and read the full story 👉
