better communities

A place to call home

Investing in the local area and helping communities come together.

We create places that bring people together

Each new community is designed to be easy to live in. We consider how you’ll access local amenities and facilities like shops and schools, whether they’re part of the new or existing community. Green spaces and parks are often used to encourage pedestrians and cyclists to explore their surroundings, and help community spirit thrive.

We invest in the local area

We build amenities and facilities as early as possible in the development process, so you can feel at home as quickly as possible. In 2019 we invested £447 million in local communities to fund improvements and build new facilities, creating places where people want to live.

We focus on looking after local causes near you

Our teams regularly donate both time and money to local schools, charities, and sports and community groups. Support during the coronavirus pandemic has included fundraising of over £70,000 for the NHS, Crisis, and Childline, and the donation of over 120,000 surgical masks and 75,000 pairs of gloves to local medical and care facilities.
