Harriet stars in new PlaceShapers film

Harriet is featured in a new national film and study called We Work which shows how we helped her into work.

We Work draws together 15 powerful stories of how lives have been transformed by housing associations who are part of PlaceShapers.

PlaceShapers are a network of more than 100 community focused housing associations who own and manage more than 805,000 homes, provide services to more than two million people and have helped more than 60,000 people find work since 2010.

They highlight how partnerships between PlaceShapers, local agencies and businesses provide people with the support they need to get into or return to work, or to start their own companies.

Harriet said: “I feel really, really over the moon”

Bryonie Shaw, Director of Support and Communities at Impact Housing Association said: “Harriet’s story is truly inspirational. This story shows how we build lives as well as homes. We care about our communities and play a unique role in helping them thrive. The results are possible only because we are embedded in our community, understand local issues and provide services which respond to local need.”

Harriet is one of almost 537 people that we have helped on their journeys into work since 2010.
