Twenty-nine-year-old mother-
of-two Anne-Marie also works
as a part-time volunteer in our
Customer and Community
Investment team in Long Eaton.
She helps out with the team’s
administration to support the
involvement of other residents.
The team’s manager, Polly
Cox, said:
“Anne-Marie is
brilliant with other residents,
whether talking on the phone
or face to face. She always
takes the time to listen and
offer help and support when
people need it. Anne-Marie is
an enthusiastic and very
capable woman, so I was
delighted to recommend her
for the Housing Heroes
Awards.”
Anne-Marie was equally full
of praise for the support she
receives from the team with
her enduring mental ill health,
especially Customer and
Community Investment Officer
Liz Dane.
“Liz has been
absolutely superb – I couldn’t
have done this without her.
The support she gives me is
unreal, and I can talk to her
about anything. Whenever
there’s something I don’t feel
I can do, Liz helps me
through it.”
Colin and Anne-
Marie will be at the
Housing Heroes
Awards ceremony
in Manchester on
27 June. We wish
them both the best
of luck.
