Neighbours Day has been celebrated all cross Europe for the past 16 years.  Across 36 countries and 20 million people this event has grown with each passing year. The goal of Neighbours Day is to encourage and celebrate communities in coming together and getting to know one another better.  This year North & East Housing Association hosted a Neighbours Day event in conjunction with the Connect Family Resource Centre for the all the residents of McArdle Green and surrounding areas in Moneymore. The tenants of North & East, along with the surrounding local community in Moneymore wholeheartedly embraced what this event represents.

.On 27th April 2015 North & East handed over the keys to 22 homes in McArdle Green, Moneymore to our new tenants. McArdle Green is a scheme of 22 social housing homes and 3 Incremental Purchase homes and was built on a site provided by Louth County Council. It is named in memory of the late Noel McArdle who was a long-standing member of the Board of North & East. The development was funded through a mixture of state funding, North & East’s own resources and private finance. The potential of this type of funding model was acknowledged last year’s Allianz/ICSH Housing awards when the scheme won in the category of Innovative Financial Model.  That is not the only recognition for the scheme as it was also recently named as Public Sector Magazine’s Best New Social Housing Development 2015.
