This partnership announcement was published in March 2025. The quotations describe the scheme and the speakers’ roles at that time.
In March 2025, Zetetick Housing announced the expansion of its work with Frontier Support into Kent. The partnership brings together Zetetick’s housing management and tenancy support with personal care provided by Frontier.
The two organisations planned to build on their experience of working together in Croydon, with homes and care arrangements suited to the people moving in.
“The scheme is a cluster of four newly built homes, each designed to the highest standard, providing a modern, welcoming environment for people who need varying levels of support,” explains Tony Piercy, CEO of Frontier Support.
Tony continues, “We’ve seen huge success in similar schemes in Croydon, where our mix of shared staffing, personalised one-to-one support, and overnight assistance—enhanced by the latest assistive technology—has delivered fantastic outcomes for the people we support and cost-effective solutions for local authorities. Naturally, we are excited to replicate this success in Kent with Zetetick by our side.”
Jess Barry, who had recently joined Zetetick as Partnerships Development Officer, explained the importance of relationships with care providers and landlords:
“Partnerships are the backbone of what we do, helping us provide not just housing, but real homes with a sense of community. Working closely with Frontier has allowed us to develop innovative solutions that empower tenants and create sustainable housing opportunities.”
She continues: “I thrive on building meaningful relationships that make a real difference. Whether it’s working with landlords to secure quality homes or collaborating with trusted care partners like Frontier, every connection plays a vital role in our mission—providing safe homes and empowering lives!”
At its heart, Jess’ role is “all about connection—linking people, homes, and opportunities to help transform lives of our tenants’. This also includes connecting with other charities and businesses, “From property professionals to care providers and local communities, everyone has a part to play in creating life-changing opportunities”.
The ambition was to develop the partnership further and help more people find suitable homes. Any further scheme depends on the people’s needs, suitable properties, agreed care and funding.
The shared aim was to give people security, independence and opportunities in their own community. The announcement records the plans for the Tunbridge Wells scheme; it is not a current vacancy listing.
