Abri is a housing association rooted in making a real difference to homelessness, inequality, poverty, and the lack of affordable housing. Born from a merger between Radian and Yarlington in 2020, Abri's mission is steeped in history dating back to 1925.

Today, with 50,000 homes and 114,000 residents, the organisation maintains a strong local presence, building sustainable communities with equal opportunities for all.

Abri is a vibrant workspace, where every colleague is valued and supported. The Parent Buddy Scheme is one of the many initiatives that highlights Abri's commitment to its workforce. The scheme offers one-to-one support for colleagues transitioning into parenthood.

Abri acknowledges the importance of employee wellbeing and mental health. The organisation offers a Wellbeing Hub, an Employee Assistance Programme, and private counselling sessions. The 'Elephant in the Room' series encourages open conversations about traditionally 'off-limit' topics, like menopause, creating a supportive and inclusive environment.

Learning and development are integral to the Abri culture. The organisation encourages Personal Development Plans, offers a broad range of training programmes, and promotes a culture of lifelong learning. The Housing Leaders programme is a standout initiative, providing management development and fostering strong interpersonal connections amongst colleagues.

The organisation's strategy, 'Achieving Together', ensures that Abri's goals and the work of its 2,000 colleagues are intertwined. Colleagues are involved in shaping the strategy, thereby fostering an environment of shared ownership and collaborative growth.
