Jigsaw Homes Tameside is now a Community Benefit Society (CBS).

In January 2025 we sought the views of residents, stakeholders and employees on plans to convert Jigsaw Homes Tameside from a charitable company limited by guarantee to a community benefit society (CBS).

The proposal to convert Jigsaw Homes Tameside from a charitable company to a CBS would ensure that it retained its charitable status and would still be subject to charity law.

Over the consultation period, no objections to the proposal were received from residents, stakeholders or employees. Following this, the Board of Jigsaw Homes Tameside decided to proceed with the conversion from a charitable company to a community benefit society.

The conversion took effect on 01 April 2025 harmonising the constitutions of the landlords within the Jigsaw Homes Group, and also streamlining governance arrangements.

This has no impact on the rights or responsibilities of residents or employees.
