Red Kite turns 10

News
13 December 2021

Last week, we celebrated our 10th Birthday here at Red Kite.

In 2011, we bought all social housing homes from Wycombe District Council (now Buckinghamshire Council) following a successful campaign led by tenants. Our approach of being tenant-led is totally embedded in how we operate as an organisation.

Over the last 10 years, we've grown and flourished, and great people have helped build Red Kite into something special.

Since the transfer, we’ve made hundreds of improvements to tenants’ homes. We’ve installed:

  • 3,908 bathrooms
  • 3,401 new kitchens
  • 4,893 new boilers
  • 3,413 new doors
  • 2,214 new windows

We’ve also seen the launch of our Springboard fund – in place to help local charities and small businesses.

Watch our 10-year journey:

It's been a busy but fantastic 10 years! Here's to many more.
