About us
Peabody was founded in 1862 by the remarkable American banker, diplomat and philanthropist George Peabody.
The Peabody Group now owns and manages more than 19,000 homes across the capital. We only operate in London and manage a range of tenures, including social housing, leasehold, shared ownership, supported housing, key-worker accommodation and commercial units.
Peabody also provides a range of community programmes for our residents and neighbourhoods, including employment and training programmes; health and well-being initiatives; activities for younger and older people; welfare benefits advice and financial inclusion and family support programmes.
Our mission is as alive today as it was in 1862. We make London a city of opportunity for all by ensuring as many people as possible have:
A good home…
a place that is safe, warm, clean, light, well-maintained and evokes personal pride.
A real sense of purpose…
this means regular endeavour – whether that be work, learning, caring for others, personal development or volunteering – that people look forward to because it makes them feel valued.
A strong feeling of belonging…
that grows from active involvement in the neighbourhood and the spirit of togetherness and friendliness that goes with that.
To achieve this we are working towards four key aims which are to:
-
provide great services and quality homes;
-
build thriving communities;
-
achieve influential growth; and
-
achieve business excellence.
Two fundamental principles underpin our business plan: the belief that customers are at the heart of all we do and that our financial strength must be sustained and used to improve services and grow.
