Social Value

social value

Social Value is the term used to describe the extra value created when we deliver a service that benefits our tenants and the wider community.

As a housing association based primarily in Preston, we manage over 6,700 homes and employ over 250 people. The Community Gateway Model is designed to ensure that customers and communities are at the very heart of the organisation, demonstrating a strong commitment to people and place.

Explicit in our commitment to community wealth building and one of the early anchor partners to collaborate with Preston City Council as the Preston Model developed, we contributed to the scaling-up of the anchor approach in the area which amplified the benefits of this approach in the community. 

As the first Community Gateway Model in the country we have a drive and passion to provide wider benefits to our local communities. We demonstrate our social value impact with every project we undertake.
