Wales’ biggest housing group gets new name as Linc and Pobl merge to form Codi
The new identity came into force on 1 January 2026, bringing the two major organisations together under one banner and one strategy. The move creates a single not‑for‑profit giant with nearly 25,000 homes, 17,000 people receiving care and support, and more than 3,000 staff across Wales.
A new Welsh housing heavyweight
The merger, first confirmed in June, brings together decades of work by both organisations — including the earlier merger of Swansea‑based Grŵp Gwalia and Newport’s Seren to form Pobl back in 2016.
Codi says its mission is simple: to “rise” to the challenges facing communities across Wales, with the name taken from the Welsh word for “rise”.
The new group says it will use its combined strength to deliver more homes, more support and more long‑term investment in local communities.
Scott Sanders, Group CEO of Codi Group, said:
“The completion of the merger and transition to Codi marks a significant step forward. Codi brings together the strengths and legacies of two strong organisations with shared values and deep community roots, giving us the size and scale to make a real difference while staying local to the communities we work in.
“As an anchor institution in Wales, we have a unique ability to influence and drive real change. Working in partnership with like‑minded organisations, our ambition extends beyond simply building better homes to shaping whole communities.
“Our ability to deliver at scale while staying rooted in local communities is what sets Codi apart and underpins how we approach growth, partnership, and lasting outcomes for our customers.”
£1bn boost and thousands of new homes
Codi says it will contribute £1 billion to the Welsh economy over the next five years, supporting jobs, skills and new developments across the country.
The group also plans to build more than 4,500 new homes, alongside continued investment in existing communities and services.
As a not‑for‑profit organisation, Codi says its focus remains on helping people “live well, feel supported and achieve their full potential”.

As we're sure many of you all already know, or have worked out, we've been playing a fair bit of RuneScape this year, after having not actively played it for over 15 years.
As part of this, we've been very, very slowly catching up on quests that came out during our long hiatus. The quest we most-recently completed was one called Desperate Measures.
During the quest, an NPC called Seren had a poignant line of dialogue that we felt obliged to screenshot, so we could transcribe it later. That line was as follows:
I am not all knowing. I am not all seeing. I am a goddess, yes, but sometimes even gods make mistakes.
As somebody& who does not enjoy questing in RuneScape, who does them entirely for the rewards and unlocks, and who always uses a guide to blitz through as quickly as possible, we were struck enough by this to pause, reflect, and screenshot before moving on.
It's not a new or novel thought being expressed, but something about it really just struck us more deeply and profoundly when we read it.
Sometimes that's all that really matters 🫶

Poor signal here at Welford I tried to send last night's photo but it timed out. I was planning on painting the cabin starboard side today but it's hot, I'm tired and can't be bothered. So mostly I'm reading The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell and drinking tea. #BoatsThatToot #Seren

Painting Seren is a long job. Since taking this photo I've applied a top coat. Tomorrow I'll turn her round and do the other side.

Yesterday I cleaned, filled and under-coated a section of Seren's cabin side. More to do today.

#SEREN LOS AÑOS 1600 Y 1700
Al visitar el Palacio de Versalles en París,
se observa que el suntuoso palacio no tiene baños.
En la Edad Media, no había cepillos de dientes, perfumes, desodorantes,
y mucho menos papel higiénico.
Los excrementos humanos eran lanzados por las ventanas del palacio.En un día de fiesta, la cocina del palacio pudo preparar un banquete para 1500 personas,
sin la más mínima higiene.En las películas actuales vemos a las personas de esa época sacudirse o abanicarse...
La explicación no está en el calor, sino en el mal olor que emitían debajo de las faldas (que fueron hechas a propósito para contener el olor de las partes íntimas, ya que no había higiene). Tampoco era costumbre ducharse debido al frío y la casi inexistencia de agua corriente.
Solo los nobles tenían lacayos para abanicarlos,
para disipar el mal olor que exhalaban el cuerpo y la boca,
además de ahuyentar a los insectos.Los que han estado en Versalles han admirado los enormes y hermosos jardines que, en ese momento,
no solo se contemplaban, sino que se usaban como retrete en las famosas baladas promovidas por la monarquía,
porque no había baños.En la Edad Media, la mayoría de las bodas se realizaban en junio (para ellas, el comienzo del verano).
La razón es simple: el primer baño del año se tomaba en mayo; así que en junio, el olor de la gente todavía era tolerable.
Sin embargo, como algunos olores ya comenzaban a molestar,
las novias llevaban ramos de flores cerca de sus cuerpos para cubrir el hedor.
De ahí la explicación del origen del ramo de novia.Los baños se tomaban en una sola bañera enorme llena de agua caliente.
El jefe de la familia tenía el privilegio del primer baño en agua limpia.
Luego, sin cambiar el agua, llegaban los demás en la casa, en orden de edad, mujeres, también por edad y, finalmente, niños.
Los bebés eran los últimos en bañarse. Cuando llegaba su turno, el agua en la bañera estaba tan sucia que era posible matar a un bebé adentro.Los techos de las casas no tenían cielo y las vigas de madera que los sostenían eran el mejor lugar para que los animales:
perros, gatos, ratas y escarabajos se mantuvieran calientes.
Cuando llovía, las filtraciones obligaban a los animales a saltar al suelo.Los que tenían dinero tenían platos de lata. Ciertos tipos de alimentos oxidaban el material, causando que muchas personas mueran por envenenamiento.
Recordemos que los hábitos higiénicos de la época eran terribles.
Los tomates, siendo ácidos, se consideraron venenosos durante mucho tiempo, las tazas de lata se usaban para beber cerveza o whisky; esta combinación, a veces, dejaba al individuo "en el piso" (en una especie de narcolepsia inducida por la mezcla de bebida alcohólica con óxido de estaño).
Alguien que pasara por la calle pensaría que estaba muerto, así que recogían el cuerpo y se preparaba para el funeral.
Luego se colocaba el cuerpo sobre la mesa de la cocina durante unos días y la familia se quedaba mirando, comiendo, bebiendo y esperando a ver si el muerto se despertaba o no.
De ahí la que a los muertos se les vela (velatorio o velorio), que es la vigilia al lado del ataúd.Inglaterra es un país pequeño, donde no siempre había lugar para enterrar a todos los muertos.
Luego se abrían los ataúdes, se extraían los huesos, se colocaban en osarios y la tumba se usaba para otro cadáver.
A veces, al abrir los ataúdes, se notaba que había rasguños en las tapas en el interior, lo que indicaba que el hombre muerto, de hecho, había sido enterrado vivo.Así, al cerrar el ataúd, surgió la idea de atar una tira de la muñeca del difunto, pasarla por un agujero hecho en el ataúd y atarla a una campana.
Después del entierro, alguien quedaba de servicio junto a la tumba durante unos días.
Si el individuo se despertaba, el movimiento de su brazo haría sonar la campana.
Y sería "salvado por la campaña", una expresión utilizada por nosotros hasta hoy. -
