Places for People

Places for People is the UK's leading Social Enterprise, dedicated to changing lives by creating and supporting thriving communities. With a history spanning over 60 years, the organisation has grown from its roots in Preston to become a significant force across the UK, managing and developing social housing, building new homes, and managing leisure facilities. Operating as a family of over 20 housing providers, developers, property managers, and care providers, Places for People works across the full spectrum of placemaking.

Their commercial approach centres on a whole-community focus, aiming to create places that feel safe, connected, accessible, and cared-for. They invest in sustainable solutions for tomorrow's homes and create opportunities through local partnerships and initiatives. The organisation's purpose is to enrich the communities they serve, putting people first and treating everyone honestly, courteously, and fairly.

This commitment extends to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities, ensuring their products and services positively impact communities, customers, and the climate. They believe that understanding and celebrating history is essential to fulfilling their mission of creating and supporting thriving places to live.
