As a responsible organisation, it is important for us to do so much more than provide good-quality housing. We call this social value.
The need for social value is greater than ever, as public and private sectors continue to face unprecedented challenges in the wake of the pandemic and the cost of living crisis.
We are committed to building homes and communities, supporting independence and providing opportunities through various services that benefit individuals and generate economic and social advantages for communities.
These services include help finding work, training opportunities, money advice, homelessness support, refuge accommodation, support for older people, technology-enabled care, specialist-supported living accommodation, and more.
Throughout the year, we have continued to work closely with colleagues, contractors, and other suppliers to impact our communities positively.
