Aims and Objectives

Introduction

Each year the Board of Eildon Housing Association and Board Members of the subsidiary organisations review the Group's Aims and Objectives to ensure the Core Business and Secondary Business Activities are consistent with the Group's Mission Statement and the aims and objectives of each Member Organisation.  This information is available in more detail within the Group's 5 Year Strategic Plan, a copy of which is available below as a download.

The Group's Mission Statement

'The Eildon Group of organisations, work together to provide high quality, affordable and sustainable solutions for people in need of housing, care and support, and other services that benefit both rural and urban communities.'

The Group's Vision for the Next 5 Years

Over the next five years the Eildon Group will build on its strengths to deliver an increasing range of housing, care and support, and community services through its parent and subsidiary organisations for individuals and communities in need.

Eildon Housing Association Ltd, as the parent of the Eildon Group, will build on its strengths as an 'A' rated Registered Social Landlord (RSL) to maintain its position as one of Scotland's most effective and innovative housing associations. Through Eildon Housing it will give top priority to the delivery of high quality services to its tenants within the financial constraints of an affordable rent policy and the relevant subsidies available from central and local government. This activity will remain the core business of the Group.

Eildon Housing Association also provides a wide range of flexible and innovative care and support services for its tenants and residents, through Eildon Care and Support whose seventy staff deliver a range of quality services to individuals with particular needs.

Eildon Care and Support will build on the excellent reputation of Eildon Housing Association for the services it delivers to people with learning disabilities, older people (including those with dementia), vulnerable single people and people with a physical disability. It will work with colleagues in other care organisations, Scottish Borders Council and NHS Borders, to increase partnership working for those with particular needs.

Eildon Enterprise is a relatively new company which enables the Group to carry out a range of wider action activities that benefit our tenants and others within the community.

This will incorporate existing contracts with Scottish Borders Council for Care and Repair and will explore the potential for working with Community Development Trusts and others, using the range of skills available within the Group in the most cost effective way.

Eildon Tweed Valley HA Ltd is a dormant subsidiary available when market conditions improve to carry out housing for sale.

The Eildon Trust's role within the Group is to promote its activities to attract additional funds for distribution to deserving individuals and organisations including the enhancement of services for our core customers.
