Our purpose, vision and values

SNG’s purpose is to provide good, affordable homes: the foundation for a better life.  

As a charitable organisation, our social purpose underpins everything we do. Any profits are reinvested into building more high-quality homes and providing better services for our customers and local communities.   

We are also setting up the SNG Community Foundation, registered with the Charity Commission, to build on our existing support offers and access new sources of funding to enable us to make even more of a difference to the quality of people’s lives. 

Our vision is to help create thriving communities, over generations. We have five key goals that will deliver this overall vision. 

  1. Quality homes and places 
    Ensuring customers’ homes are fit for the future  
  2. Improved environmental and social impact 
    Sustaining stronger and more adaptable communities 
  3. A great place to work 
    Increasing colleague engagement, enabling a great customer experience 
  4. A great customer experience 
    Increasing customer satisfaction 
  5. Organisational resilience 
    Establishing strong foundations, delivering more value to customers

  • Play your part 
  • Lead by example 
  • Always take action 
  • Committed to customer 
  • Everyone matters
