People Come First
In 2022, our partnership with Women in Construction expanded beyond Cambridge to East Anglia, London, and Bristol.
The launch of two new programmes to increase diversity in the business included the Hill Academy and our support of the Future of London’s Emerging Talent programme, assisting people from ethnic minority communities to begin their careers in housing, regeneration, and development.


When it was explained to me that I would be one of the first people to trial a new development scheme gaining an NVQ I knew this was an amazing opportunity for me to be able to gain more knowledge and experience within the construction industry. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities that Hill have given me.
Communities and Customers
We have progressively reshaped our resident engagement offering and evolved our Social Value strategy to 2025 in support of our vision: “To be the UK’s leading, most trusted housebuilder, creating exceptional homes and sustainable communities”.
Post the COVID-19 pandemic, we reconvened school engagement and career events along with
individual and group work experience opportunities. These events enable us to engage with a comprehensive and diverse cohort of young people to promote the career opportunities we can offer in the built environment sector.
Community belonging is at the heart of Hill’s engagement and delivery plans, primarily achieved through local school and community fun days, events and projects. Importantly, our social value and community team provides a single point of contact for our stakeholders, ensuring our projects deliver reciprocal benefits for each invested party.
Tackling Homelessness
In response to the homelessness crisis, in 2019, we launched Foundation 200, a £15m pledge to gift
200 SoloHaus homes to charities working in homelessness.
In addition to the original Foundation 200 pledge, we have installed SoloHaus homes as a turn-key
affordable housing solution for local authorities around the country. In Cornwall, Hill has developed a long-term strategic partnership with Cornwall Council to supply SoloHaus homes through an independent delivery programme, supported by local contractors.
