Strategy and Business Plan

Dr Margaret Blackwood was awarded an MBE for her dedication to improving the lives of disabled people and bringing awareness to a lack of adapted homes. She was deeply committed to people being able to live independent lives and, following her work to improve their financial situation, set her sights on providing housing that was suitably designed for disabled people. She formed Margaret Blackwood Housing Association in 1972.  

We remain dedicated to her legacy. Blackwood’s vision for our customers is that we support people to live life to the full, through accessible, affordable and beautiful homes, and quality care services.  

Blackwood Home and Care’s strategy is explained in our Business Plan, which sets out our aims for the next 5 years. We are currently in the process of developing  a new five-year business plan that will set out how we aim to deliver our vision and purpose, along with our strategic objectives for 2025 to 2030. This new plan will be in place April 2025.  

At the heart of how we work are our four core values that make sure everything we do as an organisation is something we can be proud of:  

• • Open and Honest  

• • Taking Responsibility  

• • Respect and Understanding  

• • Keeping our Promises
