About Us

What do we do at Places for People?

We are Places for People. We change lives by creating and supporting thriving Communities.

There is no organisation like us. We are one of the UK’s leading social enterprises and through our Group of more than twenty companies, we change lives for the better every day. We own or manage more than 245,000 properties in the UK across all tenures and operate 98 leisure centres that aim to improve health and wellbeing for our Customers and Communities. We’re one of the UK’s leading affordable housebuilders, have the biggest pipeline of any organisation in our sector and through our fund management business, channel private capital into creating new residential Communities.

In all, our 11,300 People directly serve over half a million Customers and support many more through the social value we create with our investment in employment, health and wellbeing assistance, financial stability or homelessness prevention.

Our strength is in our Group. Because of the unique focus of our business, and the significant cross-Community role we play, we can do things that others can’t. And through the power of our partnerships, we act as a catalyst and build coalitions for change.
