Our news and announcements help us to tell you how diverse our business is, and what activities we are involved in across our key business areas of health, education, regeneration and housing.

These are some of our latest media releases, announcements and initiatives.

Coming soon - Spring 2010 - the new Accent Group residents' website.

It has been a year in the making with residents involved right from the start.

New and improved features include:

- More local information, news and events.

- More information on homes and services and how residents can get involved.

- Quick and simple navigation tools, with additional help tools.

- More information on benefits, help and support, advice, rents and repairs.

The new site will go live as the current one goes down so as not to disrupt services.
