Our vision and values

We are committed to making a positive difference for our customers and communities across the North East. Everything we do is guided by clear values and a shared vision for the future.

Vision

We believe a good home makes lots of other things possible, so we provide great homes and services that do just that. By listening to tenants and customers, and supporting opportunity across the North East, we can enhance communities and help transform our region; it’s called The Bernicia Effect.

Mission

Investing in homes, services, people and partnerships to make a positive impact on the communities of the North East: We will invest to provide quality new and existing homes, in the provision of services that respond to our tenant, customer and business requirements, in our people, and in the communities within which we operate. We will invest in the North East and in doing so will help unlock the potential of our region.
