Who are we?

Moat is one of the top 30 housing associations in the UK with 20,000 homes spread across the south east in London, Kent, Essex and Sussex. We continue to develop new homes at an impressive rate too – last year we delivered 406 handovers and 515 starts onsite in the year. At the end of the year, we had over 1,400 homes in our pipeline and we remain on track to deliver 3,000 new homes in the period 2015 – 2020.

We recently celebrated our 50th year, marking the occasion with a 12 month fundraising challenge to raise £50,000. We smashed that target, raising over £70,000 in total which was split between five charities that are close to our hearts. Have a look on our website (moat.co.uk/5050) to see how we did it – it’s a great example of the amazing group of people we have here, who always go that extra mile and enjoy every minute of it!

We are a strong social landlord that cares. We know we’re good at it but we want to be even better. Our business and customers are changing and it’s time to ramp up the commercial focus, while not forgetting our social values.
