We are Places for People. Community is who we are and what we do. As the UK’s leading Social Enterprise, we change lives by creating, managing, and supporting thriving Communities. Our business consists of complementary companies that are market leaders in placemaking, regeneration and development, investment management, property management and leisure. Working together, we have the expertise and reach to create and manage entire Communities and at every stage of our Customers' lives - providing homes, services support and infrastructure that enable our Customers and their Communities to thrive. We own or manage more than 240,000 properties that are the homes to around 500,000 Customers right across the UK. We operate 80 leisure facilities that support the health and wellbeing of our Customers with an average of 1.9m visits a month. Using the power of partnership and working collaboratively, over 10,500 Colleagues in more than 20 specialist companies create Communities and provide People with opportunities and choice in a way that few organisations can match. We are an organisation that turns profit into purpose, putting everything we earn back into our Communities, projects with social purpose, and creating and maintaining sustainable, thriving places.
