Celebrating 60 years
This year marks the 60th anniversary of Broadland Housing Association! The Association was formed in 1963 and we built our first scheme, at Shipfield in Norwich, in 1967. Today we provide more than 5,000 family homes, modern apartments, sheltered and housing with care schemes across Norfolk and north Suffolk.
Win a unique souvenir
To celebrate, we have commissioned local artist Owen Mathers to design a special 60th anniversary souvenir. Turn to page 20 to find out how to win one of our unique tote bags.www.owenmathers.co.uk/work

Energy-efficiency funding success
As a member of Independent East, Broadland will receive £815,913 from Wave 2 of the Government’s Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF Wave 2.1) to improve the energy efficiency of its homes.
Justin O’Connor, Assistant Asset Director, said:
“This funding shows what our effective partnership with Independent East can achieve. It will help to improve the energy efficiency of our tenants’ homes when fuel bills are at a historic high. We will be focusing on improvements to five of our schemes, upgrading them to carbon-friendly heating systems and electricity-generating solar panels, ensuring that the energy performance increases to a minimum ‘C’ rating.”
