Our purpose is:

To be the UK’s leading Co-operative housing association promoting, developing and providing quality services to housing co-operatives and other forms of mutual tenure.

Our vision is:

• to provide high quality, efficient and financially viable services that enables and supports resident control.
•  to make a significant contribution to solving the housing needs of our nation by developing housing co-operatives and other forms of mutual tenure.

Our core values

Our work is driven by our commitment to the seven Co-operative Principles recognised by the International Co-operative Alliance as the principles on which all co-operatives operate.  These seven Co-operative Principles are appended to this corporate plan. 

Through our membership of the International Co-operative Alliance Housing Board, Co-operatives UK and the Confederation of Co-operative Housing we will continue to maintain our links with the wider Co-operative Movement and make our contribution to it. 

The Co-operative Principles are the source of the Core Values which we seek to apply in all our activities. These Core Values are: 

• to recognise the value of resident control and to support and enable it
• to be open, honest and accountable for what we do
• to treat every person with dignity and respect
• to promote equality and welcome, value and respect the diversity of people and cultures
• to be equitable and fair in all our business dealings
• to strive for excellence and efficiency in all that we do
• to value and respect our staff and develop their contribution to our work
• to recognise the importance of continuing education and training opportunities for tenants and other residents as a means of developing the human and social capacity of the communities we serve
• to be well governed by an informed and accountable Board of Management
• to be dedicated to making a positive contribution to meeting the housing needs of our nation.
