We were founded in 1890 to improve people’s lives and create possibilities for them.

What we’re here for hasn’t changed.

We fulfil our purpose, our social purpose, by providing great homes and services – including care services – to over 140,000 customers across the country.

  • Deliver great service — To be one of the best service providers in the housing and care sectors
  • Provide great homes — To provide as many high quality homes as possible, and to play a significant part in tackling the country’s housing crisis
  • Be a great place to work — To be one of the best employers in the country
  • Be a great business — To be a strong and efficient business that does things well, and that people can trust and rely on

These are the things that matter most to us. This is our social purpose.

Everything we do is about our customers, our communities and our people. And every pound we make is invested in achieving that purpose.
