Magenta joins PlaceShapers
We're proud to share some good news Magenta is joining PlaceShapers, a national network of community focused housing organisations that share a long term commitment to people and place. Being part of PlaceShapers strengthens the work we already do across Wirral and the wider Liverpool City Region.
Joining PlaceShapers brings real benefits for the people who live in our homes. It gives our customers a stronger voice on the national stage, helps us bring fresh ideas back into our neighbourhoods and opens the door to new partnerships that support community life. These are the things that help us keep improving homes, services and opportunities for our customers - one of the core aims of our tone of voice approach, which focuses on what we can do and how we make people feel.
Matthew Walker, PlaceShapers Chair said:
We're delighted to welcome Magenta Living as members. Magenta Living's deep commitment to its residents and communities makes it a strong addition to our diverse network.
What unites members is a commitment to place and a commitment to learn. We're looking forward to supporting Magenta Living's place-shaping ambitions and to our members learning from Magenta's work.
As partnership working is at the heart of place-shaping, we're inspired to learn more about Magenta Living's work in strategic partnerships with Wirral and Halton councils, and its ambitions for the Wirral neighbourhoods identified as a Pride in Place area over the next decade.
Our Chief Executive, Andy Lomas, said:
Magenta Living is proud to play an active role in the communities that we serve in Wirral and working closely with our partners across the Liverpool City Region.
Joining PlaceShapers helps us build on that work. It gives us the chance to learn from others, strengthen our collective voice and make sure our customers' experiences are heard nationally.
We'll also be able to share what works here in our communities, while bringing our own experience as an organisation that puts people first.
What PlaceShapers is all about
PlaceShapers brings together organisations that:
- have a long standing commitment to the places they serve
- work closely with local partners to improve neighbourhoods
- put customers at the heart of decisions
- build homes that respond to local needs
- do more than provide housing, because people and communities matter
Everything we do is guided by our value of Doing the Right Thing and driven by our purpose, to empower people. That is what makes Magenta more than a housing provider. Being part of the PlaceShapers community will help us do even more of that, by bringing in new ideas, stronger partnerships and more ways to make a difference for our customers.
