Protect What Matters with the My Home Contents Insurance Scheme
Unexpected events like theft, fire, or flooding can cause significant stress and financial hardship. That’s why we’re encouraging all our residents to take advantage of the My Home Contents Insurance scheme – a simple and affordable way to protect the things that matter most.
Why take out home contents insurance?
Protection against losses
Many social housing residents are particularly vulnerable to the impact of unexpected events. With contents insurance, you can cover the cost of replacing or repairing your personal belongings if they’re damaged or stolen.
Peace of mind
Knowing that your possessions are insured helps reduce worry about life’s unexpected setbacks. This reassurance can be especially valuable if you’re living on a fixed or low income.
Encourages responsibility
Taking out insurance is a practical step towards protecting your home and belongings, helping build confidence and financial security.
How it benefits everyone
The scheme doesn’t just benefit residents – it also helps the wider community. For example, insured households are less likely to need emergency support. It also helps reduce the risk of disputes and shows that we, as your housing provider, are committed to resident wellbeing.
