Investing in people and their communities.
Onward exists to make a positive difference in the communities we serve. Our investors are fundamental to our ability to help people build independent lives in secure, green homes that they love.
Our Board, Executive Team and colleagues have worked together to build a united organisation from five separate housing providers. Top G1 (Governance) and V1 (Finance) ratings from the Regulator of Social Housing, along with our A1 (Stable) Credit Rating from Moody’s, demonstrate that this is a mature and financially robust business
Everything you need to know about investing in Onward can be found on this page, but if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
