BOOST Organisational Change Programme: We’re leading on a project with 19 Greater Manchester Housing Providers to challenge and address under-representation of ethnically diverse colleagues at a leadership level to help serve our communities better.
The BOOST programme brings together mentees and mentors from housing associations to encourage effective conversations around race and break down barriers to recruitment and progression to help ethnically diverse leaders thrive.
It is a partnership with Manchester Metropolitan and Aston universities and funded by Innovate UK. 66 people have completed the programme so far and it is looking for funding opportunities beyond year three in August 2026.

Board member farewell: Cllr Gavin White retires from our Board leaving a lasting impact on Southway’s Development Strategies, old and new. Since joining the Board in 2018, Gavin has supported our commitment to increasing the supply of affordable homes in South Manchester and helped Southway and its communities through the Covid pandemic.
Recently, he helped to recruit our new Chief Executive and shape our new Five-Year Plan. We thank Gavin for his contribution and wish him all the best for the future. We’re pleased to welcome Cllr Dave Rawson as Gavin’s replacement. Cllr Azra Ali also now sits on our People and Places committee.
