What we do as an organization (100-word description)

Peabody is a London based Housing Association and provider of social housing. We manage over 17,000 properties in London providing housing to over 40,000 people.
Our Community Services Directorate manages and delivers employment and training services to vulnerable people from centres across London. These local community based centres provide access to training through the use of high quality ICT provision. Training provided includes ICT skills, pre employment skills, skills for life and ESOL.
Our work focuses on increasing social exclusion for our residents and local communities and we see ICT and digital inclusion as key to addressing areas of inequality.
