Orbit Group - Housing Association & Housing Group in the UK

Orbit is one of the UK’s foremost housing groups.

Working to create a better society, building affordable homes and communities, and doing so in more socially responsible and sustainable ways.

Investing in the safety, quality, and energy efficiency of our homes and creating new, high quality, affordable housing—so more people have a great place to call home.

We strive to provide amongst the best customer experience of any housing association in the country.

We are working to deliver £100 million in social value for our customers and communities by 2025.

We support our colleagues to maximise their potential, drive positive change, and to do so in a safe and respectful environment.

"As a not-for-profit organisation, we optimise efficiencies and value for money, so we can do more for our customers and society, and deliver more new affordable homes."

We believe everyone is entitled to a good quality, safe and affordable home. We manage a growing portfolio of over 46,000 affordable and social rent homes and support over 100,000 customers in differing stages of life, from those seeking their first home to customers looking for enhanced supported living. We are also one of the UK’s largest developers of affordable housing, building 5,700 new homes by 2030.

For nearly 60 years we’ve been a force for positive change, particularly during the country’s continuing housing and residential challenges. Our commercial approach combined with our clear social purpose enables us to reinvest our surplus to improve the quality of our homes, services and our communities, support local economies and provide more much needed affordable housing.
