This is our vision and what we all should strive to achieve through our roles at Aspire Housing.
People First is our philosophy – our way or working – and it’s about putting customers and colleagues at the heart of what we do. For every colleague it is something we all think about; putting customers and colleagues firmly at the centre of processes, decisions and services so we can delight our customers and do a great job in building better futures for those in our communities.
We make sure to provide the best possible service for our customers. Therefore, we created Our Promises which consists of 5 principles that allow us to give the best service for you and your family, along with our Communication Promise and Engagement Commitment.
We work with customers who have volunteered to get involved and help with new ideas, collating feedback and more, enabling collaborative working to create excellent services that meet customer needs.
Environmental Sustainability will be at the heart of our decision-making, recognising that we face a climate emergency and that the time to take action is now. We want our residents, learners and colleagues to see the impact we are having on reducing our emissions and creating a more sustainable place to work, learn and live.

It is with regret that we announce that Achieve Training closed on 31st October 2022, following a sustained period of financial strain. The business has seen a significant drop in learner numbers, mainly due to the pandemic and national apprenticeship reforms. In addition, funding models and operational guidance has changed, which has introduced many new challenges for the business.
In line with our partnership with Homes England, we are happy to publish details of what we invest in development and with whom we have worked. The list contains all items of development expenditure exceeding £500 in the past quarter.
