About Zetetick · Our story

Our story.
Homes with purpose.

Zetetick began in 2007 because too many people with learning disabilities could not find a suitable home. We believed housing could offer more choice, more dignity and the security to build a life in the community.

Since 2007

Responding to a real housing need

Our founders saw a gap between the homes people needed and the housing available to them. People who wanted to live in their own communities were too often left with unsuitable options or an uncertain future.

Zetetick was created to help close that gap. Working with care providers, local authorities, families and landlords, we began finding homes around people’s needs and providing the housing management needed to make tenancies work.

That purpose remains at the heart of our work: a home where someone is respected, has choices and can feel they belong.

24 April 2007

We became a registered charity, establishing the charitable purpose that guides our housing work.

Charity Commission: 1118922

Zetetick today

We provide homes for more than 200 tenants across South London, Sussex, Surrey and Kent, working with partners to support stable tenancies and life in the community.

Homes, relationships and practical help

What that purpose looks like today

Finding the right home

We work with people and their support networks to understand location, accessibility, household arrangements and other housing needs. We lease and own properties, with each proposed home considered against the person’s needs and the arrangements required to sustain it.

How housing referrals work

Helping tenancies last

Our housing work continues after someone moves in. We help with tenancy responsibilities, housing costs, repairs and problems that might put a home at risk, working closely with the tenant and the people supporting them.

Our intensive housing management

Working alongside care

Zetetick is the housing provider. Personal care and support are delivered by care partners under separate arrangements. We work together so that housing and care responsibilities are understood and people receive a coordinated response.

Our partnerships

The everyday work matters

Security is built over time

A repair followed through. A tenancy explained in a way someone understands. A conversation before a small difficulty becomes a crisis. These are part of the everyday work that helps a house feel like home.

We support adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs and other vulnerabilities. Each person brings their own history, relationships and ambitions. Our role is to provide housing that gives those lives room to develop.

Our BEDROCK values guide the way we approach that responsibility.

A charity with a clear purpose

Safe homes. Empowered people.

Our ambition is long-term housing stability, with dignity and choice at its centre. We keep working with tenants and partners as needs change, recognising that a suitable home and the right support arrangements must be considered together.

The executive team manages our day-to-day work, accountable to our trustees. As a charity, our resources support our charitable purposes and the people we exist to serve.
