Meet our guardians
Over 2000 people have decided to become Dot Dot Dot property guardians including nurses, teachers, students, cleaners, engineers, artists and actors. What unites each of them is a desire to improve lives – their own and their neighbours’ – through volunteering.

Angelika felt instantly drawn to Dot Dot Dot’s volunteer-based approach.

Dennica was a guardian with us a few years ago – and has recently returned to live in Poplar.
A creative person, she’s been finding great joy in living in a spacious property alone.

Clive, Letchworth
Clive’s lived in Letchworth before, but this time he’s trying a different way of living as a property guardian.
He’s found great meaning through his monthly volunteering teaching music, and taking care of the building he secures in the town centre.
