By attracting additional external funding, our investment into our communities will be around £150 million over the next 10 years, making this the largest programme of its kind in the country. Building futures Clarion provides more than housing. We support more than 4,000 people into work and training each year as well as supporting 15,000 young people a year to make a better start in life, for example through partnerships with the education sector and the provision of apprenticeships. 4 Clarion Housing Group Annual Report and Accounts 2016/17 Introduction Strategic report Experience Our experience of delivering large scale regeneration projects is sector-leading.

Clarion Housing Group Annual Report and Accounts 2016/17 7 Introduction Chairman’s foreword The formation of Clarion represents the largest merger the sector has ever seen I am pleased to present this, the first Annual Report and Financial Accounts for what is the now the largest affordable housing provider in the country – Clarion Housing Group, with responsibility for nearly 125,000 homes in 176 local authorities across England. Clarion, was created by the largest merger the sector has ever seen, between Affinity Sutton and Circle Housing groups. The merger, however, was not an end in itself. The creation of the new organisation puts us in a very strong position in terms of delivering for our customers, across all tenures, and making us a major national force in delivering new homes and helping to tackle the housing crisis. We are well on track to deliver our ambition to consolidate all of our housing association subsidiaries to create a single housing We are well on track to deliver association. This will enable us to deliver better local services to our residents as our ambition to consolidate all well as the biggest social investment programme in the sector, thereby of our housing association underlining our ongoing commitment to place social purpose at the heart subsidiaries to create a single of everything we do. housing association. We launched Clarion at a time when we are confronted by a very particular set of headwinds. Although it is too early to say what the impact of Brexit or the uncertain general election result might be, I am confident that our financial strength and Clarion’s clear sense of strategic direction will ensure we are able to drive future success. 8 Clarion Housing Group Annual Report and Accounts 2016/17 We ended 2016/17 having made a surplus Despite the inevitable challenges Introduction of £173 million on a turnover of £796 million associated with bringing two large and and generating an Operating Margin of 36%. complex organisations together – albeit Although marginally below forecast due to organisations with a shared a set of values, a number of exceptional merger related ethos and culture – plus the need to bring costs, our financial strength is recognised about significant improvements to service by Moody’s rating agency through our A2 delivery, our board and staff have risen to Strategic report rating, a strong investment grade rating. meet the challenges head on.

  • The Alternative Housing Awards
    The Alternative Housing Awards Landlord Categories 1. Overall Lousy Landlord: Hyde Housing Association Limited Has received over 220 nominations. primarily for shirking its social responsibility after claiming it cannot afford to run community centres despite revenue of £351m in 2016, a surplus of £95m, and CEO pay of £220k in 2016. Like many of the associations recognised by our awards, they could each appear in several categories. Hyde received several nominations for being bullying bosses, with senior managers accused of having created a culture of fear at the association. 2. Senseless Social Cleansing and Dodgy Development: Clarion Housing Group Numerous examples but probably one of the worst is Orchard Village in Havering, built with £31m of public money. This was a so-called “flagship” estate in the London borough of Havering whose residents describe it as a “living hell”. They have had to endure mould and damp, broken heating systems, inadequate fire-proofing and missing insulation. They have also been put at risk from high levels of toxic gas including methane and hydrogen sulphide. The association has now been forced to buy back the properties from the residents. But Affinity and Circle made surpluses of £145 million and almost £86 million respectively so they don’t care what the residents suffer. 3. Blundering Board and Management: Peabody Trust For dismantling the Community Based Housing Association in east London and transferring all the assets to the parent Peabody. This destroyed an association that had excellent tenant satisfaction across a whole range of aspects that far outstripped Peabody’s satisfaction rates. They dismantled the model that worked best and imposed the one that was weakest.
