Beacon Cymru results from the merger in January 2025 of Coastal Housing and RHA Wales: two respected community landlords with reputations for excellence, innovation and being a positive force in the communities where they work.
Beacon is built on these strong foundations; our ambition is to make an even bigger difference in more people’s lives, guided by our shared culture and values. We aim to be a 10,000 home organisation for the future; one which constantly raises the bar to deliver improved services and homes for residents.
We have increased capacity and resilience to deliver a greater number of new, high-quality homes each year; we’re focused on growth and investment in existing homes and services, and we’re a more resilient organisation with a wider geographical reach.
Beacons have illuminated human history as symbols of hope, guidance, and connection. They’ve been used by countless cultures to communicate across vast distances; their glow unites people, providing direction, carrying messages, and marking celebrations.
Whether lit on hills, mountains or coastal cliffs, their enduring presence reflects a shared understanding, a shared purpose and the human desire to connect with others. We believe our new name speaks to our past legacies and signals our intent to deliver change you can see in communities across south Wales.
Our vision
Better places for people and the planet.
Our purpose
To deliver lasting change you can see, through affordable homes, sustainable neighbourhoods, and vibrant town and city centres.

Equality and Diversity
Our Commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We believe everyone matters and should be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect. By understanding and valuing the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and needs of our residents, colleagues, and community partners, we can deliver inclusive services that work for everyone.
Our Approach
Equality means ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve their potential and access our services without disadvantage.
Diversity is about recognising, respecting, and celebrating what makes people different, including age, disability, gender identity, ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, and socio‑economic background.
Inclusion is the active effort we make to ensure people feel welcomed, supported, and able to participate fully in all aspects of our work and services.
We positively promote equality and diversity across all areas of our work and challenge behaviours that do not align with our values. Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated, and we actively encourage people to raise concerns so they can be addressed promptly and appropriately.
Delivering Inclusive Services
Our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion is embedded in how we plan, deliver, and improve our services. We:
- Use clear, plain language in our communications and offer information in accessible formats where needed
- Make reasonable adjustments to meet individual needs
- Design and review services with accessibility and fairness in mind
- Consider the impact of change on different groups
- Provide regular Equality, Diversity and Inclusion training for staff and involved residents
- Work closely with tenants, communities, and partners to continually improve outcomes.
Equality, diversity, and inclusion are everyone’s responsibility. Together, we are committed to creating communities where people feel valued, supported, and empowered – delivering change you can see.
