Social value

Derby Homes’ approach to delivering services is shaped by the Social Value Act, which requires public bodies and ALMOs to consider how their decisions and commissioned activity improve the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of the communities they serve.

The work of Derby Homes goes beyond delivering housing and support by tackling wider social, economic and environmental challenges and working to make our communities more sustainable. We provide opportunities for our customers to make better choices, for staff to have worthwhile and fulfilling roles, for suppliers and contractors to have stable, on-going work and for partners to deliver more by working together.

The way that we work is possible because we are an organisation that does not look to operate for profit but looks to work efficiently to create surpluses that are reinvested in the business to provide better communities and better services for our customers.

Derby Homes is a registered provider of social housing – it is in the privileged position of being able to make a positive contribution to society by investing in customers, staff, partners and suppliers and it recognises its responsibility to demonstrate the impact of this investment.
