Elim has a vision to meet housing need and deliver homes that change people’s lives. As a smaller housing association, offering a fairly wide range of services, we work towards the achievement of this vision every day through the provision of homes and services for individuals and families from a vast range of backgrounds and life experiences. Among the different customer groups we work with, the homes and services we provide for the Gypsy and Traveller communities clearly demonstrate the life changing impact of a good quality, affordable home."

You will probably have heard about Covid-19. It is a new form of coronavirus that is making its way around the UK and the world. The Government are anticipating that large numbers of people across the country will get the coronavirus.
