We’ve won a Security & Fire Excellence Award for the 3rd time!

December 5, 2016

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve won a Security & Fire Excellence Award for the 3rd year in a row.

As in previous years, we won the category for Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative of the Year. We believe this is down to our innovative and socially-minded approach to securing buildings that would otherwise be empty. This enables us to help the communities in which we work as well as providing high quality security and fire safety in our properties.

So thank you to the various organisers of the event, including IPSA, the sponsors of our category. We appreciate the nomination and look forward to continue providing high quality, fire safe and socially-minded security over the coming years!

Feel free to read more about our standards and the community work that has ensured we have won this award three years running.

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

“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 gives me the freedom to do good, invest time in work I believe in and be part of a fascinating community. It’s a no-brainer.”
Sam, Thamesmead
I feel strongly connected with my guardian neighbours. I am getting to know other parts of the community too, through my volunteering.
Jon, Wycombe
“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
“I saw the advert for Dot Dot Dot and was intrigued to find out more. Initially it was the low cost that attracted me but I also thought the social enterprise side of the business was really cool. I liked the fact that being a guardian with Dot Dot Dot encouraged me to give back and make me do something good with my free time.”
Heba, High Barnet
“Being a guardian here you have a place to work, a place to socialise and place of your own.”
Alex, Whitechapel
“It’s great because I often work from home. Because it’s a huge building you have you’re own space, but if you want to hang out with other guardians you can.”
Sarah, Whitechapel
“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
“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
“Dot Dot Dot has helped me get to know people around my area and it has been a great introduction to volunteering.”
Lamonte, Sutton
