Proud to Serve Our Community: LHA Shortlisted for Two SHARE Awards 2026
Steady Hands in a Time of Change
In early 2025, Lanarkshire Housing Association faced disruption when three experienced Committee Members retired, triggering a Notifiable Event and testing a new leadership team.
The response was swift. A focused recruitment drive brought in six high-calibre Members, while existing Members ensured continuity, mentored new colleagues, and supported a new Executive Team.
New Members quickly became active contributors, helping to reshape governance, appoint new Office Bearers, and set a refreshed strategic direction.
Within six months, the Committee achieved a Strong audit outcome and a positive independent appraisal, all while managing complex challenges and maintaining a clear focus on customers.
In a period of significant change, they didn’t just adapt—they led.
A Culture That Learns Together
Every week, Lanarkshire Housing Association dedicates two hours to learning, with all staff from frontline teams to senior leaders taking part.
Between April 2025 and February 2026, all 18 employees completed 380 eLearning modules, achieving 100% participation and averaging 21 courses each. More than a statistic, this reflects a culture where learning is shared, supported, and expected at every level.
Covering 90 topics, from governance and safeguarding to equality and professional skills, staff use the Share e-Learning system to track progress, build CPD, and shape their development.
With senior leaders leading by example, learning is embedded in induction, performance, and strategy, creating a confident, capable workforce with strong accountability.
At Lanarkshire Housing Association, digital learning isn’t just a tool—it’s part of who we are.
