Yellow Weather Warning

You will be aware of the drop in temperatures and the need to stay safe. Albyn offices remain closed to the public but our staff are available 0300 323 0990 (North) 0300 323 0991 (South).

During this cold spell, reduced staff are attending the office. Our focus during this cold spell will be to support tenants by making telephone calls to those in our most vulnerable categories. We have pulled together some helpful information to assist you:

Albyn funds: Albyn have a number of different funds which we have put in place in order to support our tenants who require a little extra help. This extreme weather may impact your household costs, please get in touch if you would like to learn more about how these funds can help. They are there to be used so please speak with your housing officer, or ring our main office numbers (above) and ask for more information.
