Why Us
Why Us
We make a real and long-lasting difference to the people who live in our places. And that’s at the heart of what we stand for: helping up not handing out. We inspire and empower people to get involved and stay involved.
Our work in delivering new homes, social investment and social value, employment and training is recognised nationally.
We’re not just about building and investing in homes. We’re about investing in places, partnerships, community assets and the social economy. Because a home is so much more than the space it occupies. A home is the place and community it belongs to, how it connects to local residents and our great city. This is what One Manchester is all about and what makes this a special place to work.
We connect, collaborate, generate resources and build places. We’re a fantastic organisation made up of passionate and hugely talented people ready to face challenges that lie ahead.
Our Mission
We provide quality homes and shape services that improve people’s lives, bringing further growth and investment into the places where they live.
At the heart of our mission are the people in our places. We actively engage and involve our communities, putting our customers at the centre of our services so they feel a sense of belonging, contribution, influence and are free to make their own choices.
We help people manage their money, find work, start-up businesses and stay healthy and well. We support them when they need us to.
We open up access to all kinds of services that people need to sustain a happy, healthy life:
- Quality spaces and places for enjoyment
- Education, training, job and work opportunities
- Sports, entertainment and cultural activities in our city.
