Radian and Yarlington become Abri -

Don’t worry, you’re in the right place

In 2019, Radian Group and Yarlington Housing Group tied the knot. A perfect match.

From 5 October 2020 we are now Abri. All the landlords within the Radian group including Yarlington Housing Group now come under the Abri brand. You will see the name Abri on emails and other correspondence from us, but it’s important to remember that your landlord has not changed – just our name.

Community Investment

Creating communities, empowering lives

We believe home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling.

Home is feeling safe, feeling secure, feeling happy. It’s a refuge. It’s where you feel you belong - where you’re part of a community. It’s a place where you can dream big, achieve your goals and be who you want to be.

But not everyone is fortunate enough to have a home. Homelessness, poverty, and inequality are challenges people face every day. Finding ways to solve these challenges drives us.

How do we do this?

We believe local people know what's best for them and their community.

No one likes to be told what’s right for them. Because it’s not helpful. Different people have different needs. And our customers are no different. We’re strong believers in the fact that people usually know what’s best for them and their community.

That’s why we work with the community. When people living in an area take a leading role in creating change, great things can happen.

It’s not just about building homes. It’s about building great communities. Where people want to live.

Over the next five years, we’ll invest £15m in our communities to drive change and transform these areas.

We’ve done the research

We asked what people needed. So in the next five years we will be focusing on three key areas:

  • Community empowerment
  • Employment
  • Health and wellbeing

We take the lead from those who know first-hand what they, their families and their neighbours need to succeed. That’s why customer involvement is key to how we shape our community investment plans.

We’ve identified key communities

There are some big issues we want to help tackle. They affect some communities more than others. So we don’t want to spread ourselves too thinly, because that’s not helpful to anyone.

Instead, through our research, we’ve found key communities that’ll benefit most from our support. We’re working with each community on an individual basis. It’s not about telling people what we think is right, it’s about listening to communities to help them create positive change.

£15m investment in communities

We’re aiming to:

  • Transform at least eight community investment zones with targeted and well-supported activity.
  • Create new pathways into training, employment and careers. We want to give thousands of people new opportunities to take back financial control of their lives.
  • Deliver both major employer partnerships and significant additional funding into our community investment fund.

We want people to love where they live. But we also want them to receive the support they need to succeed.

Our Community Investment Plans

We’ve created Community Investment Plans that share how we will work with our communities and local organisations to make things better.

They were created after talking to our residents, communities and local organisations to find out how they feel about where they live.

And they cover the three strategic focus areas in our Community Investment Strategy – employment, health and wellbeing, and community empowerment.

We currently have ten plans, with Weymouth being developed.
