About Us

Wansbeck Homes began operations on 25 February 2008 following the Large Scale Voluntary Transfer of the housing stock formerly owned by Wansbeck District Council.

Together with Cheviot Homes, Wansbeck Homes became part of the Bernicia Group.

Wansbeck Homes is constituted as an Industrial and Provident Society with charitable rules. The governing body is the Board of Management, which is made up entirely of volunteer members and comprises of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and professions including tenants of Wansbeck Homes. The Board is made up of 15 Members, 5 are representatives nominated by the Council, 5 are independent people and 5 are tenants.

Our Board and staff are committed to making a difference to the housing conditions for individuals, neighbourhoods and the communities we serve.
