At the end of 2022 we launched our new Corporate Plan which sets out our new vision and purpose as an organisation. Our plans for 2022-2025 are built around three priorities: People, Place and Prosperity.
People- we are focusing on keeping people safe, listening to our customers and making sure One Manchester is a great place to work. Place- we continue to provide and invest in good quality homes and commit to sustainability. Prosperity- we will reduce inequalities, increase our customers’ wellbeing and ensure we will deliver value for money.
