We’ve been a cornerstone of the community since 1849. Originally founded to help people buy enough land to enable them to vote – our mission to provide safe homes continues today.

We also use some of our profits to help protect local nature and wildlife, and support those facing or at risk of homelessness and domestic abuse.
