About Us

Founded in 1890, Guinness Trust is now a major housing association in England and has been providing good quality, affordable homes for well over 100 years.

Having been originally formed with an endowment of £200,000 (the equivalent of £1.5 million today) by Sir Edward Cecil Guinness, great grandson of the founder of the Guinness brewery, Guinness Trust has joined forces with four other main companies to form The Guinness Partnership.

Today, Guinness Trust directly manages 10,000 affordable homes across London, East Anglia and the South East of England with a further 13,000 homes managed by other companies in the Partnership.

Guinness Trust is proud to have HRH The Prince of Wales as patron.

At Guinness Trust, we are proud of the work we do, and see it as our job to provide good quality homes and services that will help our customers achieve their goals, ambitions and aspirations. We are continually working to build neighbourhoods where people will want to live both now and in the future.

We are helped to achieve this by the fantastic staff we employ, who are all committed to and unified by the Guinness vision;

Great service, great homes and a great place to work.

The Guinness Partnership - together really making a difference.
