About Weaver Vale

Building stronger communities, together

At Weaver Vale, we are proud to be more than a housing association, as a Community Benefit Society we are committed to creating lasting value for the people and places we serve. For over two decades, we’ve worked hand-in-hand with our communities, growing to manage 6,700 homes across Cheshire and Warrington, alongside garages, shops, play areas, and green spaces. But our mission goes far beyond bricks and mortar, it’s about people, fairness, and opportunity.

Our Commitment to Excellence: C1, V1, G1

In 2024, we achieved a milestone that sets us apart:

• C1 – Consumer Standard: One of the first landlords in England to earn this new grading, introduced in April 2024. It reflects our dedication to ensuring customers are safe in their homes, treated with fairness and respect, and empowered to influence the services they receive.
• V1 – Viability: The highest grading for financial strength, confirming we’re in a robust position to deliver our ambitious plans and invest in homes and communities.
• G1 – Governance: The highest grading for governance, demonstrating strong leadership, effective risk management, and accountability at every level.

These gradings confirm our promise to deliver safe homes, sound finances, and strong governance for the communities we serve.

Our Vision

"Working together to provide quality homes, places, and services, making a positive impact for people."

This vision drives everything we do, from improving homes and services to supporting customers through life’s challenges. It’s a commitment to listen, adapt, and respond to what matters most.

Investing in Homes and Communities

Our Corporate Plan sets out bold ambitions:

• Significant investment in existing homes and neighbourhoods.
• Building 100 new homes every year, alongside our shared ownership and Rent to Buy brand, Prospa Homes.
• Supporting regeneration and creating affordable housing options for local people.

Supporting Customers

In 2024/25, our Money Matters Team helped customers gain £4.05 million in additional income, providing practical advice on benefits, budgeting, and rent support. Because thriving communities start with financial security.

Our Culture

We believe that happy colleagues create better outcomes for customers. For 14 years, we’ve ranked among the Best Companies to work for, including two years as Number One housing association. Today, 88% of colleagues say Weaver Vale is a great place to work, and that culture of care extends to every customer interaction.

Looking Ahead

We know there’s more to do. We’ll keep listening to customer voices, improving services, and building stronger communities, because together, we can achieve so much more.
