This month marks a special milestone for Supported Living Gateway - our fifth anniversary. What began as a vision to bridge the gap between property investors and supported living providers has grown into a thriving community that's genuinely transforming lives across the UK.
As we reflect on our journey, we're proud to share the numbers that tell our story of impact, connection, and meaningful change.
Over the past five years, we've achieved remarkable milestones that demonstrate the power of bringing the right people together:
Properties and Connections:
Growing Community:
Education and Training:
Behind every statistic is a story of transformation. Each property advertised represents a potential home for someone who needs support to live independently. Every introduction we've facilitated has the potential to create stable, long-term housing for vulnerable individuals across the UK.
The leases we’ve helped arrange aren't just financial transactions - they're foundations for new supported living services that will impact countless lives for years to come.
What sets Supported Living Gateway apart is our comprehensive platform that combines property listings with professional education. Through our training programmes, we've equipped hundreds of professionals with the knowledge they need to succeed in this vital sector.
Our networking events have brought together property investors and care providers, where experienced professionals share insights with newcomers, and where partnerships are formed that extend far beyond business transactions.
Each partnership formed through our platform contributes to addressing the UK's critical shortage of supported living accommodation. With demand projected to grow significantly - an additional 167,329 supported housing units needed by 2040 according to the National Housing Federation - our work has never been more important.
As we celebrate five years of achievements, we're more committed than ever to our mission. The relationships we've built, the education we've provided, and the deals we've facilitated are just the beginning.
We're not just creating business connections - we're powering a transformation in how supported living accommodation is sourced and delivered. Our platform recognises that property investment can be both profitable and purposeful. We understand the critical importance of quality housing for vulnerable individuals, and we believe in the power of our digital solutions to solve complex social challenges.
Our success is built on the trust and engagement of our platform members. To every property investor who's listed a property, every care provider who's registered with us, every professional who's attended our events, and everyone who's shared our vision - Thank you!
You've made Supported Living Gateway more than a business platform. You've helped create a digital solution that's genuinely making a difference in people's lives.
As we look ahead to the next five years, we remain focused on our core mission: creating more homes for those who need them most. Whether you're a property investor looking for meaningful returns, a care provider seeking quality accommodation, or simply someone who believes in the power of good business to create positive change, our platform is here to help you succeed.
Here's to five years of impact, and to many more years of creating homes, building partnerships, and transforming lives through the power of supported living.
