Wandle Information

Wandle was formed in 1967, originally founded as the Merton Housing Trust, by a group of local people who were concerned about homelessness. Over 50 years on, we have grown into an organisation with over 7,500 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. Our projects have been created and managed inhouse and are delivered by third party sector organisations based in communities where we operate in. Our activity covers six core themes: Neighbourhoods, Volunteering, Young People, Training, Getting Online and Employment. We have recently launched our new Corporate Strategy, which continues to focus on our core purpose and vision - supporting people across south London who need a home, providing homes to be proud of, and services residents can trust. The strategy was launched in April 2025 and within the next three years we want to continue to deliver the Right Homes, the Right Services and the Right Support for our residents. In delivering this strategy between 2025- 2028, we set a firm foundation for future years. Our head office is in London Blackfriars, and we continue to build 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.
