14 Annual Report 2025
Regenerating Communities
Our regeneration activity is focused on two areas which are central to our long‐term ambitions:
Penderi (Swansea) and Pillgwenlly (Newport). We manage over 500 homes in each of these
communities and believe in their potential to build on their natural assets and strengths.
We have worked with partners to develop a long‐term regeneration framework for each area,
aligning investment and growth to create positive and enduring change in these communities.
Listening to and working with the local community, these frameworks introduce a blend of tenures
into the housing market, use renewable energy investment as a catalyst for change, focus on
commercial opportunities for the local community and maximise investment in green
infrastructure.
Delivering economic benefit and real opportunities to the communities we serve is underpinned
by aligning and maximising opportunities through our investing and procurement activities. Our
new Green Careers initiative exemplifies this and will ensure that our own residents are intentionally
connected to training and employment opportunities arising from our ongoing investment in their
communities.
Penderi Regeneration
Penderi Regeneration is a comprehensive, community‐led initiative aimed at revitalising the Penderi
area in Swansea, encompassing the neighbourhoods of Blaenymaes, Cadle, Penplas, and Portmead.
Spearheaded by Pobl Group in collaboration with Swansea Council and various partners, the
scheme is guided by a 15‐year Masterplan developed through extensive community engagement.
