'Creating great homes and supporting communities’ is our mission, which lies at the very heart of our existence as we aim to provide places people can afford and are proud to live in, plus a range of services to residents and the wider community that help to build safe and successful neighbourhoods.
Two Rivers Housing is an independent not-for-profit organisation based in the beautiful Forest of Dean, with a £22 million turnover. In 2003 we took on the properties previously owned and managed by the district council, and now we own nearly 4,000 homes across Gloucestershire and Herefordshire.
We are more than just a landlord. We want to create happy and prosperous communities and we do this in a variety of ways.
We provide local employment, we help groups set up community amenities, we advise our tenants on managing their budgets, we encourage schoolchildren to care for the area where they live and our staff do voluntary work at local projects.
As a registered charity we don’t have any shareholders, so any surplus money available at the end of the year goes straight back into funding more homes, services and communities.
We support neighbourhood initiatives and local groups, helping them to provide community activities and amenities.
We support community regeneration projects that bring people together to promote prosperity and wellbeing through achieving new skills and qualifications, finding work and setting up business opportunities.
We have subsidiary businesses called Centigen Facilities Management,TwoCan estate agency and Two Rivers Developments (trading as Tandem Living), providing services to ourselves and external clients, and gifting all profit to Two Rivers Housing to invest in homes and services.
