Where we operate

Riverside is one of the UK’s largest and most experienced providers of social housing, with a national presence and a history spanning almost 100 years.

We operate across more than 150 local authorities nationwide, with a strong focus on communities that need support most. Over a third of our homes are in the 10% most deprived areas, and nearly three‑quarters are concentrated within just 20 local authorities, enabling us to deliver targeted impact and drive positive change at scale across cities and the Greater London area.

Our history

Structure of the Group

At the heart of Riverside is a not-for-profit charitable housing association, The Riverside Group Ltd, registered with the Regulator of Social Housing.

Our wider Group includes a regulated Scottish subsidiary, commercial businesses that develop new homes, and joint ventures delivering large-scale development and regeneration projects across the country.

Care and Support

We are also a leading provider of supported housing. We work with people who are homeless and often facing complex challenges, as well as older customers and those who need extra care. Supporting people at difficult times in their lives is a fundamental part of who we are, and we remain deeply committed to this work.
