Today we welcomed residents to their new homes in rural Monmouthshire. The eight properties were built for us by M & J COSGROVE CONSTRUCTION LIMITED and everyone moving into these gorgeous affordable homes has a connection to the village. Gary Jones has lived in the area for the last 25 years and for the last year has been living in a caravan. He said: "Affordable rental properties hardly ever come up round here. I'm completely made up to have a place of my own now, in a village I love."

We are very proud to have been recognised for our role in promoting equality and diversity in Welsh housing last night, as Melin took home the 'Excellence in Championing Equality and Diversity' award at the Chartered Institute of Housing Cymru 2024 Welsh Housing Awards. Well done to all of the team who have helped us make fantastic progress towards becoming a more inclusive organisation.

We are delighted to share the news that Melin staff once again came together to support the Torfaen County Borough Council Santa Appeal and were able to purchase 92 gifts for children and young people who otherwise would have gone without this Christmas. In addition to this, staff contributed £255 which will be used to purchase gift vouchers for young people in the borough. Not only do we want to say thank you to all the staff who contributed, but a massive well done and thanks to Lisa Bennett, our Customer Contact Officer, who co-ordinates the contributions from Melin staff. Amazing job Lisa! #MakeADifference #TogetherWeCan

Our Maintenance Teams rarely get a chance to all meet together as they are busy working across Melin communities, serving our residents. So today it was great to get the full group together for a team meeting and some very valuable training from our friends at Hilti Group. Today's session focused on learning about Hilti's tools and equipment and how we can use them effectively on our repairs and maintenance work. #TogetherWeCan #FindAWay #MakeADifference
