SNG is a leading housing association, striving to provide quality, affordable homes and communities that people love for generations.
We have deep roots in the south of England, with over 82,000 homes focused in a core area covering Berkshire, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, London, Oxfordshire, the Isle of Wight, the West of England and Wiltshire.
We’re driven by our social purpose, with customers at the heart of everything we do. We build homes and provide great services, but our work doesn’t stop at the front door – we invest for the long-term, creating great places to live, working with customers and partners to support them in realising their potential. Read more about who we are.
To apply for this fund, you must be a local not-for-profit group, community organisation, or registered charity and you must be able to demonstrate how you will engage with and benefit SNG residents.
Your project must take place within one of our key operating areas. For more details, please view our map of SNG homes
