Queens Cross help secure tenants over £2m

Over £2 million in additional income has helped Queens Cross Housing tenants over the past year thanks to the Association’s financial wellbeing service.

The service ensures tenants receive the Government benefits they are entitled to and provides essential and timely advice to maximise their income. They also support with budgeting, debt and energy advice.

Overall, the team helped secure £2.05 million for tenants in 2025 and 2026.

As well as financial help, the team also provide wellbeing support such as providing reassurance and compassion when poor health, job loss or general financial pressures cause increased worry and stress.

Tenants have been delighted to benefit from the service:

“I can’t believe it, I had no idea I was due so much money. This is going to totally change my life.”

The team’s success marks another milestone for Queens Cross, who are celebrating 50 years since the Association’s inception in north-west Glasgow in 1976.

Heather Anderson, Director of Neighbourhood Services, said: 

“The current economic climate and high cost of living is impacting everyone. Having this vital service available means we can help our tenants maximise their income and support tenancy sustainment.

“It also benefits our wider community by increasing the money available to spend, boosting the local economy.

“This significant achievement contributes to our longstanding vision of providing excellent housing in vibrant communities.”
