Wandle Information

Wandle helps people in south London in housing need by building and managing quality homes. We were founded in 1967 as the Merton Family Housing Trust, and have since grown into an organisation with over 7,000 homes across 9 south London boroughs. Our role as a landlord goes way beyond bricks and mortar. Providing a safe, modern, high quality home for a person or family who truly needs it is just the start. We believe that to really help people in housing need, we need to support thriving communities. Our Community Investment projects are helping residents to achieve their goals. Set-up and project managed in-house, and delivered by third sector organisations based in the communities where we work, our activity covers six core themes: Neighbourhoods, Volunteering, Young People, Training, Getting Online and Employment. Wandle is a developing housing association, and we’re helping to tackle the shortage of good quality affordable housing. Our recent development programmes have provided hundreds of new homes for the people most in need of housing. We’re stepping up our development programme and have set ourselves a target to build 1,000 much needed affordable homes in south London by 2021. We offer a great working environment right by London Bridge, a genuine team ethos, excellent training and career development opportunities, and the chance to be part of an ambitious, service-focused organisation making a big impact in south London.
