Our Partnership Promises

When we asked you to vote for our partnership with Cairn Housing Association we made some promises about what the partnership would mean for you.  These were:
​

• Local services from the Ancho team in Irvine
• £4.5m in additional investment in your community, with hundreds of new kitchens and other home improvements
• An affordable rent guarantee for five years
• The potential to develop new affordable homes in North Ayrshire

 
The partnership between Ancho and Cairn is now firmly established in both organisations, with a lot of work going on behind the scenes to ensure better value for money and equip our team to provide better services in our communities.
