Shared strength,
individual focus
Longhurst Group is a major provider of high
quality housing
and care, with an
extensive development and
regeneration programme.
Our mission is to lead and inspire growth,
based on delivering excellent services, with the overall aim of
creating communities where people live positively
together.
Our
members work collectively to share their specialist
expertise and knowledge of the different geographical areas they
serve. Together, we challenge ourselves to do things differently
and better – always keeping our customers’ needs in mind.
As a Group, we are dedicated to using our
combined skills to achieve greater business efficiencies, which is
why we provide a range of shared corporate services to avoid
duplication and deliver the best possible value for money.
As you would expect from a leading regional
housing group, we provide affordable homes for rent and sale. But
we are far more than a landlord and much of our work is focused on
caring for vulnerable people and supporting local communities
through a range of neighbourhood services.
In practice, this means our work has a massive
impact on the quality of life of thousands of people.
We invest every year in our 17,200 properties
to keep them in good condition for existing residents so that, as a
minimum, we meet the Decent Homes
Standard. We access grants and borrow money to
build new affordable homes for everyone from first-time buyers and
families to older people and others in need of support. We tackle
social problems and deprivation in the neighbourhoods where we
work. We help job-seekers by providing training and
apprenticeships. We develop innovative partnerships to combine the
strengths of different organisations that share the same aims. We
use practical policies to deal with complex challenges ranging from
hate crime to climate change.
The examples here represent just a fraction of
what we do. Find out more about Longhurst Group and
