Living your Best Life tenant competition results

We’ve been supporting our communities since 1994, and to celebrate our 30th anniversary, we asked you to send photos or poems depicting how you were “Living your best life” as part of our competition. 

The competition ran from mid-July to the end of October. It was advertised on our website, social media, and posters at our community centres and independent living schemes.  

It was open to Progress Housing Group tenants and supported living (RWP) tenants. 

There were three categories to enter:  

• Creative work (not just art, including any craft, baking or making things!)
• Photography
• Poetry

Our judging panel, which included our Chief Executive Jacqui De Rose, a Non-Executive Director and Deputy Chair, Elaine Johnstone, RWP colleague Tracey Barker, and three involved tenants, Julie, Margaret, and Gillian, awarded all entries a score out of 10.

We were blown away by the talents of our tenants, who sent us an array of creative work, from crocheted items to wood furniture.

You can view their entries on our You Tube video above.

Congratulations to our winners:
