Port of Leith Housing Association’s sheltered housing team have won an award for brining the Scottish Social Services (SSS) Council’s codes of practice to life at the SSS Awards, which recognise best practice and individuals who are making a real difference to the lives of the people they support.

Maureen Tait, Sheltered Housing Services Manager, Port of Leith Housing Association said: “We’re thrilled that we have been singled out for this award. Our whole team has worked together to make the Scottish Social Services Council’s codes and values real and meaningful to our staff and tenants.

“We have also developed a team charter which demonstrates our staff’s values and beliefs, and shows our tenants that we’re committed to excellent service delivery. It’s fantastic that the team’s hard work and dedication has been recognised. I’m really proud of them.”
