A YORK based housing organisation is moving in to new offices and planning a major expansion.

Inclusion Housing - a Community Interest Company which offers housing support for adults with physical and mental disabilities -will soon be moving into a new, larger, office in Heworth Green.

The building has enough capacity to let the firm triple in size, and the company is now planning to increase its staff by five per cent each year to cope with the growing number of UK schemes it manages.

CEO Neil Brown said: “We have a growing portfolio and an increasing number of staff managing the business and it was vital that we relocated to accommodate this growth. With our business rapidly expanding, our new offices will provide a base large enough to support a team connected with nationwide partners.”

Some £455,000 of financing from Santander has been key in enabling Inclusion to move out of its rented offices in the Priory Street Centre and buy the new building.

Established in 2007, Inclusion works with commercial landlords and investors to build and manage high-quality, socially responsible care accommodation for vulnerable people who have physical and mental disabilities.

Andrew Russell, Santander Corporate and Commercial’s Relationship Director, added: “We are delighted to be able to support Neil and the team at Inclusion with their new office move. The firm seeks to provide much needed support to highly worthwhile target market and we welcome the change to support them in this endeavour.”

Inclusion’s team includes professionals in property, supported housing and finance, and they work closely with commissioners, care bodies and developers.
