Bromford

Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

The suggestion for Bromford to sign up to the Armed Forces Covenant was made through our Be.Heard forum, which is a monthly meeting of employee representatives. With veterans, reservists and cadet volunteers included in our workforce, this presented a positive way to formalise Bromford’s support of the Armed Forces Community.

We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant by promoting that we are an Armed Forces-friendly organisation, recognising the transferable skills of those with forces experience, and supporting our employees who are members of the Reserve Forces or military cadet organisations.

About us

Bromford is a housing association; we exist to provide affordable homes for people who can’t access market housing. We’re committed to providing safe, secure and warm homes, but also care about the people who live in our homes. 

Around 53% of our customers live in just four local authority areas – Lichfield, Tewkesbury, Cotswolds and South Gloucestershire. These are the places where we are the majority social landlord and own up to 80% of all the affordable homes. We think this places a responsibility on us to play our part in the wider success of these places.

Over the period 2018 to 2028, our goal is to build 14,000 new homes and at least 50% of these new homes will be built in Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire.
