The Newlon Group
Our members and what we do
The Newlon Group consists of four organisations - the parent company Newlon Housing Trust and three subsidiaries, Outward, Newlon Fusion and Access Homes, who work closely together to provide a comprehensive range of high quality community services.
Newlon Housing Trust is a ‘not for profit’ industrial and provident society and a charitable housing association. Newlon owns or manages nearly 7,000 affordable homes in eight boroughs in north and east London. These homes are made up of a mix of affordable tenures and we provide housing for people nominated from local authority waiting lists, specialised accommodation for Key Workers and Shared Ownership homes to help people take their first step on the property ladder. Working in partnership with Outward we also provide housing for people with a wide range of support and care needs. For the 2008/09 Financial Year our asset base was £670 million and our annual turnover was £55 million. Newlon has 120 members of staff.
Outward is a charity working with more than 1,000 people who need additional care or support to live their lives and realise their full potential. Outward provides a range of specialist services for older people, people with mental health issues, young people and people with learning disabilities, including a specialised service that supports people on the autism spectrum. Outward works across north and east London, employs over 300 staff and has over 40 volunteers. You can find out more by visiting the Outward website.
Newlon Fusion is our community regeneration agency. The team works to support people living in areas of deprivation through providing high quality employability skills or training and working in neighbourhoods to improve the quality of life. Fusion currently delivers regeneration programmes in partnership with local authorities and community groups in the boroughs of Islington, Hackney, Haringey and Tower Hamlets. There are 13 members of staff. For more information visit the Fusion website.
Access Homes is a small non-charitable housing association which, like the Trust, retains any surpluses to invest in housing activities. Access also provides services to leaseholders. No staff are employed by Access.
