The people behind Chapter 1

We have 300 people covering London, the South West, the Midlands and other Home Counties. They work in various roles including project and housing management, admin and project development.

We depend heavily on our staff. Without their commitment, dedication and professionalism, we couldn′t offer vulnerable people the support they need.
