Graham Piggott
Atrium Homes is sad to announce the passing of former Board member, Graham Piggott.
Graham gave Atrium Homes 17.5 years of voluntary service and always had the best interests of Atrium and its tenants at his core.
Notice of Special General Meeting on 6 November 2025 at 5:00 p.m.
CONSULTATION WITH MEMBERS ON CHANGES TO OUR RULES
All housing associations are required to have a set of Rules which set out the powers of the organisation and the way in which its membership and governance will be managed. The Scottish Federation of Housing Associations has worked with the Scottish Housing Regulator to publish Charitable Model Rules which are periodically updated.
Atrium Homes, as a company limited by guarantee, has Articles of Association (“Articles”) as its Rules, in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. While the layout is slightly different from that of the Model Rules above, Atrium has embraced the spirit of the Model Rules and adopted the key requirements from that document. The last time that Atrium Homes’s Articles were reviewed and amended was in 2015.
We have undertaken a review of the Articles to ensure that they represent current industry best practice, as well as adding in provisions which will ensure that we are able to access all forms of finance available to social landlords in the future. This will ensure that we are able to consider all forms of finance offered to us and choose the product which delivers the best value for money to the organisation.
The document containing the draft amended Articles showing the changes proposed is available on our website at this link and we have included with the letter to Members a note of the changes and the reasons why we are making them.
We require approval from our Members to change our Articles and so we are calling a Special General Meeting on 6 November 2025 at 5:00 p.m. at Atrium’s offices (14 Central Avenue, Kilmarnock, KA1 4PS).
Please be wary of responding to messages from unknown people
Atrium Homes has been made aware that some of our tenants are receiving texts from fraudsters:
- If you receive a text claiming to be from the Department for Work and Pensions, asking you to apply for your Winter Heating Allowance, please do not click on any links. Links included in the message may lead to fake websites designed to steal your personal and financial details. You do not need to apply for the Winter Heating Allowance which will be automatically paid to anyone who is eligible.
Please note that as the DWP starts to process the Winter Heating payments in the next few months, fraudsters might try to contact you again.
If you have older friends or relatives who might be vulnerable to fraudsters, please make them aware of this scam.
- If you receive a text about outstanding repairs, this text has not been sent by Atrium Homes. We would urge tenants to be cautious in replying to these types of text messages from unknown senders, as they might be a scam.
