Caridon Group Wins Gold as ‘Community Champion'

2nd December 2024

Caridon Group is delighted to announce they have won Gold for 'Community of the Year' at The Negotiator Awards 2024, held at the iconic Grosvenor House Hotel in London’s Mayfair. This award is a testament to Caridon’s unwavering commitment to fostering inclusive, sustainable, and thriving communities, setting a benchmark for excellence in the UK property industry.

The Negotiator Awards, recognised as the most prestigious awards in the residential property sector, celebrates the industry's top performers. The 2024 ceremony, hosted by comedian Ellie Taylor, saw over 400 entries vying for recognition across 34 categories. Caridon’s exceptional work in community engagement distinguished it as a leader in the field.

Founded in 2009, Caridon Group was born from CEO Mario Carrozzo’s deeply personal mission to create housing opportunities for vulnerable individuals. What began as a rent guarantee scheme to support homeless tenants whilst providing landlords with guaranteed income, has evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem offering interim, permanent, and temporary housing, combined with tailored community support.

Today, Caridon Group’s initiatives, including Caridon Property, have helped house over 10,000 homeless individuals. Through its not-for-profit arm, Caridon Foundation, and its youth support program, Caridon Young Living, the group has continuously expanded its impact by providing mental health support, skills training, and activities to enhance tenants' well-being. Additionally, with pioneering sustainability projects like Caridon Eco, they have improved energy efficiency in social housing.

Mario Carrozzo, CEO of Caridon Group, who attended the awards expressed his gratitude, saying:
"Winning Gold for 'Community of the Year' is an great honour that reflects the dedication of our entire team. This recognition fuels our drive to build not just housing, but homes that anchor thriving, resilient communities and support those most in need. At Caridon, we believe housing is the foundation of opportunity and growth, and this award inspires us to continue breaking barriers for those we serve."

Caridon Group extends its heartfelt thanks to The Negotiator Awards’ panel of judges, sponsors, and organisers for this recognition. The award is a reflection of the collective effort of Caridon’s team, partners, and the residents who are at the heart of its mission.
