Sharing stories from our customers, colleagues and communities
2025 marks 50 years of Plus Dane. For half a century, we’ve been providing safe, affordable homes and supporting communities across Cheshire and Merseyside.
This year, we’re celebrating the people who make Plus Dane what it is: our customers, our colleagues, and our communities.
We’re shining a light on the customers and communities that make Plus Dane what it is. From individual customers with inspiring stories to communities coming together to support each other, these are the moments that show the real difference safe, affordable housing can make.
We caught up with Joseph Dean, one of our longest-standing customers at Radleys Court — the very first sheltered scheme built by Plus Dane. Joe moved from a house with stairs to a ground-floor flat back in 1998 and has called Radleys Court home ever since. He shared what the move meant for his independence, neighbours, and day-to-day life:
Alongside individual stories like Joe’s, we’re celebrating the strength, resilience, and pride of our communities. Across Cheshire and Merseyside, local people and groups are running projects, organising events, and supporting each other to make neighbourhoods thrive.
From grassroots initiatives to partnerships that bring people together, these communities show what’s possible when we work side by side.
For 50 years, our colleagues have been the heart of Plus Dane – repairing homes, supporting families, and going above and beyond for customers.
Throughout this anniversary year, we’re shining a light on their dedication and celebrating the difference they make every single day.

To mark our 50th anniversary, we’re giving away 50 grants of £1,000 to help our communities shine even brighter!
