Our purpose and values

We have one purpose: to provide good quality homes, great services, and real opportunities for our customers and communities. 

We're more than just a landlord

We’re more than just a landlord. We have one vision – to create inclusive, connected, and sustainable places where people can thrive and live well.

We’re committed to working in partnership with other organisations to address these issues for the benefit of customers, the city, and Greater Manchester.

The heartbeat of our organisation

As a values-led organisation, our shared values are what bring us together and reflect what we want everyone who deals with us to experience. Our values capture who we are, what we believe in, and what we stand for as an organisation.  

Our values and behaviours were created by our colleagues in workshops that spanned the entire business. With over 6000 comments for colleagues, customers and stakeholders, our HEART values were created.
