In 2026, we're celebrating our 20th birthday.
This gives us a chance to look back and celebrate the communities, customers and colleagues who have been part of our journey.
It also gives us an opportunity to look ahead and think about what's next.
A look back at our journey
Looking back, it's great to see how much has changed. From starting in 2006 as North Somerset Housing and only a few years later we became Alliance Homes Group. In 2017, we opened Tamar Court and launched our A-Game values. Our 2019 rebrand was another big moment as we continued to grow and develop homes outside of North Somerset. More recently, we launched our customer panels - helping shape our services - and our customer portal, Connect. In 2025, we celebrated reaching 7,000 homes across the West of England.
Get involved in the celebrations
We've got lots of events and activities planned, and we'd love you to be part of it. Keep checking this webpage for updates, where we'll be sharing all the details and the ways you can join in.
Celebrating 20 years of Alliance
To mark our 20-year anniversary, we’re inviting you to take part in our Blooms of Alliance gardening competition.
Whether you're a confident gardener or your fingers are only light green, we want to see your green spaces of all kinds, shapes and sizes!
Our categories are:
- Best balcony or window space
- Best front garden
- Best back garden
- Best collaborative project or communal space
- Best hanging basket or pot
You can enter any time between now and the deadline of midnight on 31 August, so you have plenty of time to spruce up your garden, or wait until your favourite plants are looking their best.
Customer Forum
Listening to customers is an important part of our story, and ensuring you have opportunities to help shape our services is part of our promise to you.
Supporting customers in our age-restricted homes and ensuring feedback is accessible are key priorities for us. In June, we held our second Age-Restricted Customer Forum, where we heard from 20 customers and celebrated our 20-year anniversary.
One of those customers involved was, Yvonne, a customer who has lived in her Portishead home for 20 years. She opened the event alongside Iain Lock, Chief Operating Officer, and Cath Stenson, Service Director for Customer Operations.
Flag Carnvial at Weston Arts + Health Week Festival
Our colleagues teamed up with local artist Zara Emily to screen-print a celebratory 20-year anniversary flag for the Weston Arts + Health Week Festival's Flag Carnival.
Filled with meaningful words and illustrations highlighting our role in communities over the last 20 years. As part of the Flag Carnival, we were joined by 14 local community groups that use our community hubs - plus dozens of other organisations and projects from across North Somerset - shinning a spotlight on the range of support available to people across our communities.
