This is why we do what we do 🔑   This morning, we were delighted to hand over the keys to the Lebedjoka family at Barkingside Yard, our landmark affordable housing development in Barkingside, Ilford. It was great to be joined by Wes Streeting, MP for Ilford North and Tom Copley Mayor for Housing, to mark this special moment.   Vistry Group delivered Barkingside Yard in partnership with Peabody and Places for London, has transformed a former builder's yard into 98 high quality homes, 100% of which are allocated for social rent. This is housing that directly addresses London's housing crisis, providing thoughtfully designed and energy-efficient homes, including fully wheelchair accessible units and new community and green spaces. The development has also delivered improvements to the station and surrounding area, making it safer for local residents.   This development is a testament to what's possible when ambition, partnership, and community focus come together. Thank you to Greater London Authority, Peabody, Places for London, Redbridge Council, ECE Architecture and all the partners who brought this vision to life.

We’re proud to have completed 30 new social rent homes at Marlowe Road, which will be handed over to London Borough of Waltham Forest Council.

Of the newly confirmed homes, 137 are shared ownership and 50 affordable rent, all meeting SNG’s sector-leading Homes and Place Standard.

It will not only help shape this new community but also assist Swindon Borough Council’s aspirations to kick start economic growth in the town and wider region.” We look forward to welcoming the first residents in Spring 2026!

Teams across our regions took part in Wear It Red to support our charity partner, Crisis. Colleagues embraced the theme with bright knitwear, bold accessories and plenty of Valentine’s Day spirit. From red jumpers to homemade treats, our sites and offices were full of colour, energy and generosity. Alongside dressing up, teams organised bake sales and mini fundraising events to help raise vital funds for Crisis and the work they do to end homelessness. Thank you to everyone who took part - a fantastic start to our partnership with Crisis.
