About Us

Hexagon is an innovative and responsive Housing Association working in partnership with a range of local authorities to meet housing needs across South London. With a turnover of £37m and 137 staff, Hexagon is continually improving the quality and range of our affordable homes and services.

As an organisation, we are concerned with people, their homes and communities. We make good quality, affordable housing and services available to people in South London, and work to extend opportunities and improve the neighbourhoods they live in.

With over 4,300 homes for rent, we offer more housing choices in areas of high demand and are building new homes to meet local housing need. More than 300 vulnerable people use our specialist housing and one-to-one care and support services.

Like all housing associations, Hexagon is a not-for-profit organisation and is regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH).

Hexagon’s driving aim is: ‘To meet housing needs in South London through our commitment to existing and future residents, local communities, and the environment.’

Our values include:

• We place the interests of our residents and service-users at the heart of what we do.
• We value our staff and are committed to them achieving their potential.
• We foster equality of opportunity and embrace diversity in everything we do.
• We are committed to ensuring affordability of all our homes and services.
• We strive to be open and accountable to our customers and partners.

Only by having a clear and understandable mission statement and values, can we measure our own success and progress. Our mission & values statements allow our customers to know what they can expect from Hexagon.

Our Corporate Objectives are:

• To continually improve the quality and range of our affordable homes and services through innovation and best practice.
• To be cost effective, efficient and competitive.
• To be amongst the best in the provision of housing, care, support and related services.
• To be financially secure.
• To develop, motivate, and retain staff.
• To be socially responsible in the way we run our business, and in particular, to focus our efforts on promoting environmental sustainability.
