Habitat for Humanity is a movement of people in your local area and around the world, working together to build more prosperous and vibrant communities by making sure everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home. Since our founding in 1976 as a Christian organization, together we have helped more than 62 million people in countries around the world build their futures on their own terms through access to decent housing. We’ve done that by working alongside people of all walks of life to build, repair and finance their homes, by innovating new ways of building and financing, and by advocating for policies that make constructing and accessing housing easier for everyone. Together, we build homes, communities and hope. To learn more, visit habitat.org.

L&Q is one of the UK’s leading housing associations and developers. We were founded on a simple belief: high quality housing is vital for people’s health, happiness and security. Everyone deserves a quality home that gives them the chance to live a better life. Today that passion about the importance of housing, and our not-for-profit ethos, gives us our social purpose. All our resources and all our energy are channelled towards providing better housing at a lower cost than can be provided in the private sector – and building more of it. We provide greater security of tenure and services people can rely on. 250,000 people call our properties ‘home’, and we’re proud to serve diverse communities across London, the South East and North West of England. It’s important our 3,000-strong workforce reflects the residents we serve. We have been named one of Britain’s top LGBT+ employers and one of the best workplaces for women and wellbeing.

We're Home Group, a housing association, social enterprise and charity with a turnover of £505m and one of the UK's largest providers of high quality housing and integrated housing, health and social care. We're proud of the difference that we have made over the last 90+ years and we continue to work hard to support over 125,000 customers who live in more than 57,000 homes across England and Scotland. Our aim is to build homes, independence and aspirations and according to our trophy cabinet we’re pretty good at it! We're the 17th best place to work in the UK, the 4th best in the North East and the 8th best for women. Our apprenticeship programme is award winning; in 2019 we were named large employer of the year and large north east employer of the year in 2020.
