The ‘VISION’ framework is built around six key commitments:

1. Visible in the community
2. Inclusive and fair
3. Safe and secure homes
4. Investing in our future
5. Open and accountable
6. Not-for-profit, for people

The Strategic Business Plan outlines a number of major priorities, including plans to grow the Association to 500 homes through targeted acquisitions and redevelopment opportunities, investment in modern technology and digital services, continued support for tenants facing cost of living pressures, and further development of community facilities such as the Overnewton Street Community Centre.

Approved following extensive engagement with staff and the Management Committee, the plan introduces a new framework known as Yorkhill’s VISION, bringing together the Association’s purpose, values and strategic priorities into a single statement that will guide decision-making over the next five years.

The plan also places a strong emphasis on maintaining affordable rents, improving energy efficiency, supporting tenant safety, strengthening governance, and ensuring the Association remains financially resilient while continuing to deliver high-quality local services.

Grant Kennedy, deputy chief executive, said: “This Business Plan sets out a clear direction for the next five years and reflects both our history and our ambitions for the future. The VISION framework gives us a simple way of explaining what matters most to Yorkhill and how we will continue to deliver for our tenants and the wider community.”

Tony Mallaghan, chief executive, said: “As we approach our 50th anniversary in 2027, this plan builds on almost five decades of community ownership, local accountability and investment in Yorkhill. It outlines how we will continue to improve homes and services, invest in our people, strengthen our community presence and remain focused on delivering value for money for our tenants.”
