Swaythling Housing Society, part of Radian, has produced a DVD to celebrate the growing success of the Junior Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Scheme. The DVD will be officially launched at a special screening at the Harbour Lights cinema in Southampton on 18th February starting at 11am. The DVD illustrates the positive impact the program has had in the local community throughout Hampshire since its launch two years ago, and to encourage other Housing Associations to get involved.
Hampshire based, Swaythling Housing Society, part of Radian, has been chosen to manage the new national pilot scheme launched by the Ministry of Defence and the Department of Communities and Local Government. The Armed Forces Home Ownership Scheme (AFHOS) is a £20 million joint housing initiative that will provide additional housing options for Service personnel.
