Strategic Plan 2025 – 2028

In June 2025, the Board came together to shape a three-year strategic plan. This plan builds on previous work and incorporates feedback from the membership. Outlined below are the strategic priorities, actions, and targets the Board has committed to delivering over the next three years.

  • Vision

    To develop inclusive community-led projects with a focus on housing—where everyone has access to safe, affordable, and comfortable homes, and where communities are rooted, resilient, and thriving.

  • Mission

    To establish diverse and supported communities by protecting community assets ensuring they’re used, developed, and reinvested in ways that benefit everyone, now and for generations to come.

  • Aims

    Retain asset value for the benefit of the local community 

    ● Ensure that the viable assets are not sold or developed except in a manner which the Society’s members thinks benefits the local community

    ● Maximise asset value for the benefit of the local community

    ● Recycle any gains made in dealing with the assets for the benefit of the local community

Objectives

Securing the maintenance, improvement and creation of amenities for the local community; and the wellbeing of those who live and work, or want to live and work, in the local community and, to enable people to build thriving, inclusive communities through the democratic ownership and stewardship of land and other assets. The board have defined this this work through four strategic objectives:

  • 1. Champion the role of community led housing

    Work towards becoming leaders in the Southwest and beyond for community led housing

  • 2. Community-Led Housing Development

    Enable the development of sustainable homes and places

  • 3. Organisational Excellence

    Ensure the organisation is compliant and operating at the highest level including financial, legal and governance

  • 4. Community Engagement and membership growth

    To build a strong, inclusive, and engaged membership base that reflects the diversity of the local community and actively participates in the democratic governance, decision-making, and stewardship of community assets.
