Kingsway Fold tenants win three awards

The Dunmurry fold scooped three of the top awards which were presented as part of the association’s Tenant Forum held earlier this month.

Over 250 residents and staff gathered for the Health and Wellbeing themed event to hear guest speakers from Cancer Focus and Fold’s Corporate Charity, the Alzheimer’s Society.

The winners of Fold’s Scheme Awards were announced with Kingsway Fold scooping three of the top Awards for Promoting Health and Wellbeing; Intergenerational Work and the Good Neighbour Award which went to Kingsway tenant, Mr Bobby Hagen. Kingsway also received a runner-up award for the Best Outing.

John McLean, Fold’s chief executive said, “Fold’s Scheme Awards provide us with the opportunity to recognise the individual, teams and activities that take place in all our schemes throughout the year, from fundraising to gardening, volunteering to the best outing and good neighbours, they are all about the people and causes that matter to our tenants and make a positive contribution to community life. Judging is very difficult due to the high standard of entries from Schemes across the country. We congratulate the winners, runners up and highly commended awardees.”

He added, “Fold performed well in the past year in terms of housing management and development performance. We were amongst the highest performing larger associations in void and income management and our development team achieved the largest number of new starts in the Northern Ireland Social Housing Development Programme.
