What We Do

We seek to improve the quality of life of vulnerable adults across the UK. The properties we acquire, or fund the development of, provide sustainable, long-term accommodation for adults with specific care and support requirements. For example, these needs could be as a result of mental health problems, learning disabilities or physical and sensory impairments.

Our accommodation differentiates itself by being a home within a community rather than the institutional care facilities that have historically been a mainstay for vulnerable people with care needs. We also seek to provide value-for-money to Local Authorities by offering housing that is both suitable and cost-effective. Our ability to forward-fund the development of custom-built properties allows us to deliver high-quality, high-occupancy new housing, providing genuine additionality to the UK social housing sector.

Our portfolio properties benefit from long term leases to Approved Providers, which are bodies that receive their funding from central or local government to provide homes for vulnerable people.

Adapted For Residents’ Needs

Over sixty percent of properties in the Group’s portfolio have been newly-refurbished or newly-built to provide accommodation for some of the most vulnerable people in society. The people living in the Group’s properties have acute health needs such as learning disabilities, mental health issues, autism and physical and/or sensory impairments. These adaptations – which are agreed with Commissioners, care providers and our Approved Provider lessees range from non-slip flooring, widened door frames and grab handles, to more complex adaptations like alarm systems, wet-rooms and lifts.
