Research shows nearly 2 million people who live in social housing across the UK feel stigmatised by their housing status. We want to help change that.

We've joined the Stop Stigma in Social Housing campaign and have set up a project to put their journey planner into practice. As part of this work, we're launching our own campaign to spotlight people, rather than their housing status. We're inviting Leeds Federated customers to share a few things about themselves that challenge some of the negative stereotypes and stigma attached to social housing.

We're aiming to collate a list of 100 things that customers do, or have achieved, that have nothing to do with their housing status.

You might have recently completed a marathon or a degree, started a new hobby or job, or be well-known for taking care of your friends, family or local community.

Big or small, we want to hear about your achievements and what makes you...you!

You can get involved by completing the short survey below, or if you want to share more, you can get in touch with us at news@lfha.co.uk. We'll use what you tell us to help tackle stigma as part of an online campaign, as well as in training sessions with colleagues and contractors.

To get you started, here are a few examples we've already heard from customers:

  • I’ve walked the famous World War II bridge over the River Kwai
  • I repair broken laptops in my spare time for charity
  • I’m a Leeds United fan and love going to the ballet
  • I have a Masters in Business Administration
  • I love the peace and calm of the countryside

    "I repair broken laptops in my spare time to give to charity."

    One customer has been giving back to the community by repairing broken laptops and donating them to charity. Our Customer Engagement team collected the laptops from the customer and donated these to Homeless Street Angels, a charity in Leeds that supports people who are homeless. Home Street Angels expressed their gratitude in receiving the laptops

    If you want to share something that you’re proud of, you can complete our short survey. The more we share what makes you, you the more we break down the stigma and show how our housing status doesn’t matter.
