Giving Back
Inspiring generosity
Generosity and shared responsibility for our surrounding communities is at the heart of everything that we do. We believe that we’re responsible for affecting change, empowering others and uplifting those in their time of need.
We re-invest our profits to empower and support those who do not have a home.

Northcote school, over the road from our Fenchurch St development, recently received their new basketball hoops and we couldn’t be prouder of the great mahi put in by our Site Manager Matt Dunn and his team and our build partners SES Contracting, Allied Concrete and Locate Services.
We could not be prouder of our very own Tendy Cooper, who stands proudly as one of the distinguished female trailblazers, securing her place as a top ten finalist for the esteemed Apprentice of the Year Award, an initiative presented by Registered Master Builders in collaboration with CARTERS.
Last month, a small group of Home employees and build partners, visited the Samoan island of Savai’i to help build a community evacuation centre.

Jessica Cooper was one of our team and has written a personal account of her experience and gives some open insights into what it’s like to practically serve in another country.
