Developing better places to live is about more than buildings, which is why we set up the Octavia Foundation. Funded by our popular high street charity shops, the Octavia Foundation run some inspiring projects to help local people in the communities where we operate.

Established in 2010, Octavia Living was set up as a private development subsidiary of Octavia to cross-subsidise the development of new affordable housing for those in need. Our first two development projects were award winning and were featured in the media for their design and contribution to local areas. Octavia Living has an independent management structure where the directors and staff have a broad range of experience from the House Building Industry.
