LRHA awarded Platinum Accreditation by Investors in People.

Highest recognition for excellence in supporting people and communities. 

Investors in People is delighted to award Lincolnshire Rural Housing Associaition (LRHA) ‘we invest in people, platinum accreditation’. Platinum is the highest level of accreditation possible to achieve on our ‘we invest in people accreditation’.

7% of Investors in People’s 50,000 accredited organisations around the word have achieved Platinum.

 This Platinum award shows that LRHA’s people-first approach is embedded throughout the organisation — with everyone, from the Chief Executive and board members to staff, playing their part in our success and always seeking ways to improve.

Founded in 1986, LRHA provides and manages over 430 high-quality affordable homes in rural Lincolnshire. With a strong social purpose, LRHA is committed to “Helping to Maintain Sustainable Rural Communities” by offering energy-efficient homes for rural people in need, while ensuring residents feel supported, listened to, and involved in shaping the services they receive.

Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate LRHA. Platinum accreditation on ‘we invest in people’ is a remarkable effort for any organisation, and places LRHA in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people.”

We believe that the success of your organisation begins and ends with people. If we make work better for everyone, we make work better for every organisation. And if we do that… we make society stronger, healthier and happier.

“We are incredibly proud to have achieved Investors in People Platinum accreditation; this is a truly special milestone for us. For a small rural housing association like ours, it shows that when we work together valuing and supporting one another we can achieve something remarkable. 

It recognises the commitment, passion, dedication and care our staff put in every day, whose hard work ensures we continue to support one another and improve the lives of our residents; and that we are an organisation of choice both for the people who live in our homes and for those who choose to work here.

Housing is about more than bricks and mortar it’s about creating safe, warm homes where people can live, grow, and thrive. We take pride in the fact that our residents are telling us they are already seeing improvements. That feedback is encouraging, but it also reminds us that there is still more to do, Platinum proves we are on the right path.”
