Salix Homes shortlisted for 2010 UK Housing Awards
Salix Homes has been shortlisted from more than 250 entries to the 2010 UK Housing Awards. These awards are now in their 14th year and recognise outstanding work in housing which improves the lives of people in their communities.

Salix Homes is now one of six left in the running for the Involving and Empowering Communities award.

The event is organised by Inside Housing magazine and the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH), and attracted a phenomenal response with submissions from the length and breadth of the UK.

The winners will be revealed at an awards ceremony at London's Hilton Hotel on 10 November hosted by BBC Radio Scotland's Fred MacAulay. The awards are sponsored by Hays, PH Jones, United House, EMA, Sanctuary Group, Capita Resourcing, Devonshires Solicitors and supported by The Scottish Government, Welsh Assembly and Northern Ireland's Department for Social Development. Last year nearly 800 people attended.

Salix Homes chief executive, Kevin Scarlett said: "This is great news for Salix Homes and our Customer Senate. It is the second time this year the Senate have been finalists for a national award and testament to the fantastic job they do in scrutinising our services to make sure we meet our customers' needs and how we are leading the way in resident involvement."

CIH Chief Executive, Sarah Webb, said: "It is fantastic that we have had so many excellent entries this year, and this is evident from the high standard of the shortlisted finalists. I want to congratulate all the organisations who have reached the finals, their work is a true inspiration to all of us."

Inside Housing's events director Ted Stevens said: "All the finalists have done brilliantly in getting this far. Well done to Salix Homes for getting shortlisted. The competition was really fierce with more than 40 entries in some categories."
