Our People, Planet and Place pledges highlight the need for every person, whoever they are, to be treated with respect.

Investing in new home
We have built 102 new energy-efficient homes this year for social and affordable rent or shared ownership, assisting the millennial generation locked out of decent homes, older people, those in need of specialist housing, first-time buyers, and people who are ‘rightsizing’.

Investing in people
We have taken on 8 fantastic new apprentices this year, in Trades, Housing Management and Finance, with another joining us in January.
We will continue our commitment to apprenticeships next year so please keep an eye on our website for new vacancies here
It has been fantastic to welcome so many new members to the board this year. All bring differing skills, diversity of thought, and a broad range of life experiences.
This is invaluable in helping to shape culture, and reflect the vision and values of the MSV Way
We have been working hard this year to get our new training and employment facility (Positive Futures) ready to launch in 2022! Based in Moss Side, it will be free for anyone living in MSV's neighbourhoods.

SHIFT is the sustainability standard for the housing sector and covers every aspect of our business, from our homes and offices to the way we work. It measures how we are doing over 22 environmental criteria, inc CO2 emissions, water use, landfill waste and response to climate change.

A Chance in Life
Since then, we've converted ex-student accommodation into Foyer-style housing and support for 30 care leavers in Manchester. And, more recently, we have converted our former office space into 17 new high-quality apartments for young people leaving care in Moss Side.

Warm Hearts
A huge thanks to the hard work and commitment of our Community Projects Team for collecting and helping to deliver essential food and provisions such as sleeping bags and warm clothes to people living on the streets, as well as helping families and vulnerable people who may be experiencing loneliness or financial difficulties in any way this winter. All as part of our new Warm Hearts Campaign. ❤️
