-Founded over a century ago by philanthropist Joseph Rowntree, the trust was set up to build and manage New Earswick, a pioneering model village in York. -As an exempt charity operating in partnership with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, it owns and manages around 2,600 homes—building a future community while stewarding a historic one. -The trust develops a mix of apartments, houses, bungalows and accessible homes—supporting individuals, families, older people and those with disabilities through rented and shared‑ownership models. -It also provides registered care services—residential, nursing and extra‑care—across several sites, all CQC‑rated Good. -Notable projects include Derwenthorpe and New Lodge in York, alongside affordable housing partnerships in Leeds and Easingwold with energy‑efficient EPC‑rated properties. -Its regulatory compliance includes a G1 governance rating and V2 viability rating, reflecting strong oversight amid sector challenges. -An unusual legacy: it originated in the early 1900s trait of creating self‑governing, green communities free of the stigma of charity, and remains rooted in that ethos today.
