Who we are

As a Community Gateway housing association, our core purpose is to provide good-quality homes in partnership with 
our residents and key stakeholders, focusing on making a real difference to our communities by prioritising services for people on lower incomes.

So that we can continue to meet this aim, solid foundations are essential. Going into our 2025-2030 Business Plan, we 
are proud to have the highest ratings from the Regulator of Social Housing under the consumer standards (C1), and for governance (G1) and financial viability (V1).

This demonstrates that we are financially secure and well-governed, and we are committed to maintaining high 
standards throughout the next five years, so that we can consistently deliver for our customers, both existing and new.
