‘Shared Value’ Award for support of homelessness charity

We’re delighted to have been presented with a Shared Value Award by local homelessness charity Oasis Community Housing, at its flagship Black & Gold Ball fundraiser on Friday 20 May.

The award is in recognition of the support we’ve given the charity over the past 12 months and celebrates the success of our corporate partnership.

The charity’s Patron, the BBC’s Reverend Canon Kate Bottley, presented us with our Shared Value Award at Hilton Newcastle Gateshead on Friday. Ian Johnson, Executive Director of Customer Service at Karbon Homes, said: “We’re proud to work in partnership with Oasis Community Housing, an organisation which shares our mission to provide people with the support they need to thrive.

“We’re really humbled to have been awarded a Shared Value Award and look forward to continuing our work with Oasis in the future to make a real difference to those in need of a helping hand.”

For almost 40 years, Oasis Community Housing has been supporting people facing homelessness across North East England and South London. The charity works to address both immediate needs and the root causes of homelessness through its Basis crisis services; its Home 24/7 supported accommodations for young men, women, and mothers and babies; its Aspire unemployment support and financial skills training; and Empower programme for women escaping domestic abuse.

Oasis Community Housing’s Chief Executive, David Smith, said: “Our Shared Value Awards recognise those businesses that go above and beyond in support of our charity. Every year we deliver help, housing and, moreover, a place people feel they belong through our drop-ins, emergency accommodation and supported accommodation projects.

“We could not deliver what we do without the generous support of our valued corporate partners and the dedicated individuals within these businesses.”
