As a not-for-profit organisation, every penny we make is re-invested into developing and improving homes, supporting our customers to live happily and developing our staff to provide the best possible service.
Through our resident involvement activities, we empower residents, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs are embedded into our services.
Our housing team makes a tangible difference to the lives of vulnerable tenants, through services such as financial inclusion and safeguarding for victims of domestic abuse and people living with mental health challenges.
At the same time, our care and supported housing (C&SH) schemes enhance the lives of service users, helping them gain independence and take control, so they can enjoy the same opportunities as everyone. As a large local employer, we are dedicated to developing our workforce through training, apprenticeships and wellbeing activities.
We are also committed to reducing our impact on the environment and contributing towards Net Zero by 2050, through increasing the energy efficiency of our homes and building new homes that are highly energy efficient.
