We were delighted to welcome Alison McGovern MP to our newly completed homes on Hamilton Street today!
She met some of our new tenants and saw how this former office building has been transformed into eight high‑quality flats for people who need them most — including those who have experienced homelessness or are leaving care.

A huge thank‑you to our fantastic partners who helped bring this project to life,Interiors Direct – developer, JDA – architect, Drees & Sommer – Principal Designer, Sovini – Development Support and Great Places Housing Group – BLOC Lead. With valued support from Homes England, Wirral Borough Council, and our funders Barclays and Warrington BC.

Alison also met Adam, who shared his journey from homelessness to finally having a safe place to call home. His story is exactly why developments like this matter.

We were pleased to have Kevin Garvey from the National Housing Federation with us as we showcased how we’re turning older buildings and empty sites across the Wirral into much‑needed homes.

Paul Carhart, Chief Executive for Wirral Methodist Housing Association, said:
“We are proud to showcase the quality of these new homes and the strength of collaboration that made them possible. Today’s visit highlights the importance of investing in safe, affordable housing that supports people and communities to thrive.”
