What is the ‘With You’ campaign about?
This campaign was launched during the first wave of the Covid 19 pandemic in the summer of 2020. It aimed to shine a light on the range of support available to social housing tenants. The campaign has continued throughout the pandemic.
What difference did the campaign make?
One of the important parts of the campaign was to highlight a financial assistance protocol which was developed with local government and the Welsh government. The protocol makes a series of commitments to tenants during the pandemic:
Housing associations will keep tenants safe and secure in their home
Housing associations will help tenants get the financial support they need
Housing associations will support tenants and find solutions if they have difficulty paying rent
Housing associations will do everything they can to support tenants’ wellbeing
These commitments were developed with Welsh Government, CHC and the Welsh Local Government association. They form the basis of a financial assistance protocol which has been endorsed by all social landlords in Wales.
To showcase this work, and raise awareness of the support available to tenants, we have developed a campaign called ‘With You’. The campaign aims to shine a light on the range of support available to social housing tenants, including the work delivered in line with the protocol.
The campaign is ongoing throughout the crisis. So we can show the true impact of your activity, we are working closely with the housing charity HACT to measure the impact of this work on tenants and communities.
