A ground-breaking ceremony has marked the commencement of work at a new Extra Care Independent Living development in Stalham, Norfolk.

Residents came together at Housing 21’s scheme, Berryhill Village in Stoke-On-Trent for a demonstration of the modular kitchen and designs to support accessibility.

Determined blind veteran Lee raised over £2,500 for charity by completing a 2,000-metre swim. Lee completed the challenge, the equivalent of 80 lengths — in just over two hours.

Kathleen is one of the oldest residents at Housing 21’s Extra Care scheme. Her story is one of resilience and quiet heroism – stretching from wartime Britain to a peaceful home with a large balcony and lovely views she enjoys.

The industry-first training programme designed to help Care Workers progress into management roles with potential salaries exceeding £50k, proudly marks the end of the first cohort of students.

Residents and employees have come together to celebrate contractors who have gone the extra mile as part of Housing 21’s Outstanding Contractor 2025 initiative, which received 333 nominations.

Green space has been transformed into a flourishing community orchard at Housing 21’s scheme, Lavender Meadows in Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Preparations are in full swing as Lee, a veteran living at Housing 21’s specialist scheme, The Rise in Plymouth, gears up to swim 80 lengths to mark VE Day’s 80th anniversary.

Ongoing efforts to create an inclusive working environment for Housing 21 employees have been recognised with a national accreditation.
