Our new  “Love Your Countryside” awards have received a fantastic boost with sponsorship from Hastoe Housing Association.

CPRE has always been a strong advocate for more affordable housing in our villages, to meet local need.  Hastoe is a well-respected rural housing provider, well-known for their small scale, environmentally sensitive affordable housing developments which help to keep our villages alive.  It’s a great match!

Hastoe is an award-winning housing association that owns and manages over 7,500 rented, shared ownership and leasehold homes across 70 local authority areas and 300 villages. Their homes are spread across the south of England from Devon to Norfolk.  Hastoe always develop homes above building regulations and always aim to reduce carbon emissions and increase sustainability.

 

'As a leading rural housing specialist, our focus is on building high-quality, affordable homes that help to create sustainable communities and preserve the local environment. The first-ever CPRE Somerset Awards are an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate our long-established commitment to working in partnership with the local communities of Somerset. I am really looking forward to seeing the award entries, which will no doubt showcase the individuals and organisations that are really helping this county to thrive'
Ulrike Maccariello, Development Director at Hastoe

Our new awards are our way of sharing and celebrating the brilliant projects and people that make our Somerset countryside such a special place.  We launched our new awards as the perfect way to mark CPRE’s 100th birthday.  Joining up with Hastoe for our “Love Your Countryside” awards really is the icing on our 100th birthday cake!
