Thanks to everyone who came to our party on Wednesday evening to help us us celebrate five years of housing great volunteers in properties that would otherwise be empty.

Salesforce Tower

And special thanks to Salesforce for hosting us on the 26th floor of their headquarters, near Liverpool Street.

Guardians and Staff enjoying the view from the Tower

We enjoyed stunning views over London as we welcomed guardians, volunteers, property owners, charities and friends for drinks, canapes and conversation.

It was a lovely way to celebrate our first five years – and we’re looking forward to working together to house more people, get more buildings into use and support even more social impact over the next five!

Dot Dot Dot stands for property guardianship done well

We are a social enterprise which houses people in buildings that would otherwise be empty

We respect our guardians, selecting only the very best while supporting them to further the interests of their neighbourhood and to provide a high level of service to the property’s owner. This is a win-win-win for property guardians, owners and communities.

Testimonials

“I love the idea that you are part of a community in such a large city. I like the fact we are allowed to be creative with the decoration of the flat and getting involved with local charities is something which I have missed doing over the last few years.”
Jasmine, Peckham
“Once I knew that everyone was up for 16 hours of volunteering a month, I felt pretty confident they’d be great, considerate housemates, and they are.”
Kit, Croydon
“Being a guardian here you have a place to work, a place to socialise and place of your own.”
Alex, Whitechapel
“When I started investigating guardianship options, Dot Dot Dot stood out because of the emphasis on volunteering and contributing to the local community.”
Alison, Bow
Local people have been very positive. They like the fact an empty building in their neighbourhood is being used again and is being maintained.
Conor, Shoreham-by-Sea
“Dot Dot Dot has been a perfect springboard to the city.”
Tom, Croydon
“I was drawn to property guardianship because I wanted to live affordably in London which is pretty hard to do – and the volunteering aspect of guardianship with Dot Dot Dot really appealed to me as a way of giving back to the community.”
Carl, High Barnet
“Living in a Dot Dot Dot property has enabled me to do much more volunteering and reduce my hours at my day job.”
David, Croydon
“As a property guardian with Dot Dot Dot I save £450 per month compared with what I used to pay on rent – that’s a significant difference.”
Josh, Poplar
I feel strongly connected with my guardian neighbours. I am getting to know other parts of the community too, through my volunteering.
Jon, Wycombe
