Accreditations, memberships and awards As a social landlord with over 10,000 homes and more than 350 team members, a lot goes into making every day a success at Futures. We want to give everyone the chance to live in a high-quality affordable home and we can't realise our ambitions without other people. Our team members, partners and the wider housing sector all play a crucial role in making Futures what it is. Demonstrating our excellence is vital and we're proud of the accreditations we hold, and the many awards we've been nominated for, and won, over the years. We're also part of a network of organisations which represent local businesses and the wider housing sector allowing us to make our voice heard and speak up for our customers, while ensuring that Futures has a local, regional and national impact. Accreditations Investors In People Platinum In 2021 we were awarded the coveted Investors In People Platinum award. Only 2% of organisations which take part in the IiP accreditation receive this national award aimed at making sure all employees get the best experience at work. In 2018 we were awarded the Investors in People Gold award, which was something we were very proud of, but in 2021 we wanted to aim higher and achieve platinum status. A testament to the work all our teams do to make Futures a great place to work.
