Places for People

We are Places for People. Community is who we are and what we do. As the UK's leading Social Enterprise, we believe we can improve our Customers' lives through the Communities we build and look after. We do this by honouring our long-term commitment to creating and supporting thriving Communities where everyone matters – whether that be through the development of homes, schools, shops, community and leisure centres or providing access to job opportunities, training, and specialist support services. With over 50 years of experience in creating vibrant and diverse neighbourhoods, we own or manage over 230,000 homes, operate over 120 leisure facilities, and support more than 500,000 Customers. And we are set to deliver even more affordable homes over the next 10 years through our partnership with Homes England. We believe that Community matters, and with almost 11,000 People and 20 specialist companies within the organisation, we have the ability and expertise to create, develop and manage entire places, from supported living to luxury homes. Places for People is 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.
