“The winner of Contractor of the Year 2024, sponsored by Impey, was Top Notch Contractors, which delivers high-quality work with a commendable focus on customer satisfaction.”

The winners of the National Healthy Housing Awards 2024 which celebrate the inspirational achievements of frontline staff, council teams, and charities in supporting people to live independently, have been announced.

Organised by Foundations, the Government-funded national body for the Disabled Facilities Grant and Home Improvement Agencies (HIAs), the fifth year of the National Healthy Housing Awards honoured those who work tirelessly to support people to live independently. The awards were sponsored by PROCare.

The event was a special ceremony that highlights the efforts of those working in the sector who ensure older and disabled people live in safe and accessible homes.

The judges assessed entries submitted for eleven categories from across England, with winners being awarded at the Stoller Hall in Manchester on 19 December 2024.

Paul Smith, Director of Foundations, said: “Having worked in the housing and adaptations sector for over 30 years, I can honestly say it’s a privilege to be part of something that makes a real difference to people’s lives every single day. Yes, it can be challenging at times, but it’s also incredibly rewarding—and I truly believe it’s one of the best sectors to work in.

“That’s why hosting the National Healthy Housing Awards is so special. It’s a chance to shine a spotlight on the people and organisations who go above and beyond, celebrating the dedication, innovation, and passion that drive this sector forward. Recognising these achievements is an honour, and we’re proud to celebrate the impact they’ve had on so many lives.”

Last year, Foundations endorsed the Sustainability Reporting Standard for Social Housing (SRS), an environmental, social and governance standard designed for the housing sector.
