We are proud to be a national and forward-thinking social landlord, with over 3,600 homes across the length and breadth of Scotland. We are also one of Scotland’s largest housing, care, and support providers for older people. Our story and culture have been enriched through growth with like-minded people, most recently our partnership with Wishaw & District Housing. Our positive and inclusive culture is recognised externally by our Investors in People ‘Gold’ and ‘Leaders in Diversity’ accreditations.
For nearly 50 years, Trust has evolved. And so it continues today, as we ready ourselves to meet the housing, health, economic and climate challenges of our time, with a new 3 -year strategy – The Time is Now – driven by the demands of our customers and the society we serve at its heart.
Our 3 key strategic themes:
Time to be Bold. Time to Grow. Time to go Green.
Our customers and empowered frontline teams will be at the centre of a growing business that is striving for 10/10 experiences that feel personal and effortless. We will be accelerating our investment in enabling technology to modernise our services and ways of working. Driven by data, a learning culture, best practice and service design, our focus will be on seamless delivery, customer relationships and personalised solutions.
We are investing in a future that keeps us at the leading edge of what we do, responding to the opportunities in front of us. Through growth and leaner operations, we will secure our ability to keep rents affordable whilst investing in the standards of our services and homes. We are on a journey to Net Zero by 2045. We want to be solving climate problems, not contributing to them.
