We’re a socially conscious organisation that strives to make a positive impact in our communities, giving customers a safe and secure home and providing the foundations for their wellbeing.

We’re proud to be a part of so many initiatives that support our customers and communities and even more proud of our people steering the way. Not only do we provide more homes and bright futures, but our charitable arm, VIVID Plus, invests millions back into our communities to tackle some of societies biggest issues. We can’t control many of the pressures and challenges on us, but we can control how we respond to them and what we do:

• We build the right sort of affordable homes to meet the needs of our local communities and to address the affordable housing shortage in the south

• We’ve doubled the size of our Money, Advice and Benefits team, allowing us to support more people and their financial wellbeing. Last year we secured £4.9m in extra income for our customers

• Our Employment and Training team supports customers with work and training opportunities. In 2022 we helped 310 people find a new job

• We support food pantries across our operating area, providing 1,000s of people with access to cheaper, healthy nutritious food, whilst reducing food waste.

We aim to be a high performing organisation, continuously learning and improving. Our culture of development and dedication to growing our skills and capabilities is what makes us and our people successful.

Our in-house Learning and Development team delivered over 27,000 courses to individuals last year, they offer many bespoke and accredited development programmes, but that’s not all:
