2020 - An Extraordinary Year
Our News www.wchg.org.uk
For all of us 2020 has been an extraordinary year in which the Covid pandemic has significantly impacted our lives and the lives
of family, friends, neighbours and our communities. For some, the impact has been contained to the loss of previously taken-for-granted freedoms, whilst others have sadly lost loved ones.
If there is a positive from 2020, then it is the inspiring way people, communities and organisations across Wythenshawe have come together with kindness and compassion to support each other through tough times.
Throughout the pandemic, WCHG colleagues have worked with local people and partners to deliver our services as best we can and to go the extra mile to
support our tenants and their communities. As we leave 2020 and look to the future, we will continue to play a leading role in creating a stronger, healthier and more resilient Wythenshawe.
Thanks to science, we are now at the beginning of the end of the pandemic, although it will be several months before a new version
of normal life can
resume. Meantime, I hope you will continue to stay safe and alert to the continuing risks, enjoy the festive season and look forward to a more positive 2021.

New Development Helps Reduce Carbon Footprint
We welcomed the first residents
to our new Woodhouse Lane Development in October, after its launch was delayed due to Covid-19.
The new scheme offers 18 x 2 Bed apartments for affordable rent and has been built on the site of the former SS John Fisher and Thomas Moore Catholic Church by Rowlinson Construction.
Executive Director of Development Andrea Lowman said, “This is a significant development milestone for WCHG because the electric vehicle charging
point will help reduce our Carbon Footprint
so that we can play our part in helping make Manchester a
greener city.”
