A Bit About Beth..
Beth has a degree in Sociology and Gender Studies from Sussex University. Since finishing university she has worked in International Development, working in Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. Most recently she has worked in Volunteer Support at Restless Development and is now excited to support Guardians to make a positive social impact in their local communities.

What volunteering do you do?
Currently I volunteer with South London Cares, a community of young professionals and over 65 year olds, tackling loneliness in London. I am also an active member of the Women’s Equality Party and a campaigner with Youth Stop AIDS.

Beth What made you choose Dot Dot Dot?
I’ve always worked for organisations who are different and innovative. I was impressed with Dot Dot Dot’s values, the people (staff and guardians) and it’s commitment to positive social impact.

What is your favourite part of London?
My walk to work along the canals and through the Olympic park, I love watching everyone having a cup of tea on their houseboat as the sun comes up over the stadium.

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 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
“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
“Dot Dot Dot has helped me get to know people around my area and it has been a great introduction to volunteering.”
Lamonte, Sutton
“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
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
“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
“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
“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
“Being a guardian here you have a place to work, a place to socialise and place of your own.”
Alex, Whitechapel
I feel strongly connected with my guardian neighbours. I am getting to know other parts of the community too, through my volunteering.
Jon, Wycombe
