4. Peabody Trust 1862
A good home… a place that is safe, warm, clean, light, well-maintained and evokes personal pride.  
A real sense of purpose…this means regular endeavour – whether that be work, learning, caring for others, personal development or volunteering – that people look forward to because it makes them feel valued. 
A strong feeling of belonging… that grows from active involvement in the neighbourhood and the spirit of togetherness and friendliness that goes with that.
