At Derventio Housing Trust we do things differently. We don’t believe in labels and stereotypes. Everyone we work with is unique, with their own experience, skills and aspirations.

That’s why feedback like this is so rewarding, and so important. From a resident to their Housing Support Office, these words demonstrate why people are at the heart of what we do.

“Thank you for being so much more than a housing officer to me. During my darkest times, your unwavering support and help kept me moving forward. I truly wouldn't be where I am today, or achieving what I am now, without you in my corner. Thank you for everything.

Together we are an unstoppable team thank you again for being my amazing housing officer you go above and beyond for people with your big heart. (⁠ノ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ノ⁠*⁠.⁠✧”

Our unique service means we can match people to the type of supported housing that is right for them. We will take into account the person’s situation, housing location and what they want.

Discover some real-life stories to see how we have made a difference.

Kath’s story - Derventio

More Than Just Flowers

A very quiet and somewhat shy man, Giles has discovered his green fingers and a passion for gardening.

Whilst he has attended Derventio Housing Trusts Growing Lives centre, he struggles with mixing with people and prefers a solitary life.

Therefore, he has brought Growing Lives to his accommodation and has come out of his shed, sorry shell, taking great pride in his newly discovered gardening skills.

Having been gifted a sunflower by another resident, Giles has tended to it with great care. In the garden, he has made a cane frame for the wildflowers to grow up, as he nurtures them to their full potential.

On every house visit Giles is especially keen to show Katie, his housing support officer the flowers progress as they begin to bloom; this is really helping with his recovery.

Giles says that he loves to see the greenery and the bees and insects they attract.

It’s been really rewarding to see the positive changes in his mental health and his confidence bloom.
