DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES

We are committed to delivering attractive, high quality homes, excellent customer experience and a lasting positive legacy for our communities and the local environment.

Thriving communities and social value

Through thoughtful placemaking, collaborative planning and stakeholder engagement, we are committed to providing high quality homes with convenient access to local amenities. We prioritise enhancing connections between our customers and nature by incorporating accessible green spaces wherever possible.

We aim to create thriving communities that bring lasting benefits. Our approach integrates social value through local infrastructure enhancements, such as improved public transport links, community centres, educational facilities and recreational and play areas. We also drive socio-economic growth by creating jobs for local subcontractors, apprentices, trainees and supply chain partners.

More information about the environmental and social measures we put in place in our homes and developments is available in our ESG Data Handbook.

Supporting health and wellbeing at More Park School

The Group sponsored the installation of outdoor exercise equipment at More Park Catholic Primary School in West Malling for the students to use and enjoy.

The new additions included cardio and resistance apparatus accessible to children aged five to 12 years old. The equipment will be used in PE lessons to support the students’ understanding of health and fi tness and will also be available to use at break and lunch times. The equipment is designed in a horseshoe configuration so that a whole class can use the space for an outdoor fitness lesson. The equipment will also be used in activities for children with a variety of needs, meaning all students across the school can make the most of the new installations.

“This donation has allowed us to not only purchase new apparatus, but choose equipment that will both excite and inspire children for many years to come on their sports and health journey.”

Charitable giving and supporting the local community

In 2023, we launched a charity partnership with Young Lives vs Cancer, supporting their mission to ensure children and young people with cancer get the right support at the right time. We also actively support local charities and organisations through donations, sponsorships and our payroll giving scheme.

Further detail on our partnership is available on our Charitable Giving page.
