Candida Dutiro

Red Kite Community Housing   

"Candida has been selected to win this award because she not only represents the voices of Red Kite tenants, but she actively builds the skills and experience of other tenants to become board and committee members. Her passion for housing and dedication to achieving great outcomes with Kite Housing make her a standout candidate for this recognition."

Pia Honey

No Floor No More    

"We had some great nominations this year however Pia’s nomination was nothing short of outstanding. This is someone who saw a need and took it upon herself to liaise with different groups of people and organisations to source and supply potentially vulnerable residents with flooring. The amount of time and energy she has put into the project including her own physical labour, and the many people she has helped while essentially recycling at the same time is nothing short of magnificent. We admire her community spirit, foresight and tenacity in making this happen and have no doubt those residents who have benefitted from her work will agree she is our 2024 Inclusion champion."

Setareh Neshati

Westminster City Council 

"Outstanding candidate who clearly fulfills and exceeds the criteria for Professional of the year. Setareh displays professionalism, vision, courage alongside breathtaking results. Her contribution hits so many key areas including the alleviation of homelessness, driving up standards for customers, the demonstration of the benefits of co-creation with customers, diversity and inclusion....the list goes on. Setareh is a sterling ambassador for the Housing Profession."

Ilene Campbell

Tenants Information Service (TIS)    

"IIene's focus on tenant involvement and the importance of customer participation was brilliant to learn about. This drive has transferred to wider projects relating to climate change and retrofit, which have clearly catalysed positive change across the sector. Whilst being a clear champion of utilising resident voice, she also recognises the importance of engaging young people within the sector. She is a huge inspiration for women across the housing sector. "
