Welcome to your 'get winter ready' issue of Shine

Inside, you’ll meet our inspiring cover star Chris, who has dedicated his life to fundraising for mental health charities and supporting others. His incredible efforts earned him the runner-up award at this year’s Pride of Britain Awards.

You’ll also find helpful information on financial support, winter fire safety guidance, and festive tips from our Resident Sustainability Champions on how to reduce food waste this Christmas.

Got a story to share for our next issue? We’d love to hear from you, email us at comms@southernhousing.org.uk.
