About us
We want everyone to be in a good place - personally, in a home that’s a good place to live, and in a community that’s a good place to belong.
We want everyone to be in a good place - personally, in a home that’s a good place to live, and in a community that’s a good place to belong.
When someone’s in a good place personally, they’re more than content – they’re optimistic about their future. They have good health, physically and mentally. They have enough money to pay the bills, with enough left over to enjoy. They can access the help they need, and share it with others. They have things that give their lives meaning, be it a job where they can see the difference they’re making, or the chance to spoil their grandchildren each week. Life doesn’t feel like a slog.
When someone’s in a home that’s a good place to live, they have more than a roof over their heads – they have safety and security they can afford. They have enough space for the people and things they love. A place that’s comfortable, that they can be proud of. That they can welcome a friend to for tea. The choice to stick glow-in-the-dark stars to the ceiling of their children’s bedroom. They walk through their front door and their shoulders relax.
When someone’s in a community that’s a good place to belong to, they do more than nod at nextdoor on bin night – they have neighbours they can trust. They feel safe walking home, even in the dark. They get involved in things with others, be it the darts team at the pub their community owns, or a fundraiser for their local hospice. Their relationships make their lives richer.
That's the future that we're aiming for. What we're trying to achieve. Our vision: everyone in England and Wales in a good place.
Building bridges between people, and opening doors to the things they need.
Speeding up and sparking change, by supporting new ideas and helping good ones grow.
Backing local people to lead the way, deciding what their communities need to be in a good place.
Poverty is deepening. Homelessness is rising. Communities are divided.
So there is a great urgency to make the ambition of our vision real.
