Finding a place to live that complements the life you want to lead isn’t easy. We believe that when people are freed from some of these challenges, they get back time and energy to support causes they care about.
By building purpose into what we do, we've unlocked a better option for people who want to do good. Our unique approach connects the dots between property owners, guardians and communities, meaning there are more benefits for everyone involved.
Property owners get responsible guardians to look after their empty properties, resulting in better security and flexibility. Guardians get well-managed, inexpensive homes, so they can focus on what really matters to them. And communities get neighbours who use their extra time and energy to give back.
It’s property guardianship with purpose.
Collectively, our guardians have given time worth £5.4m to good causes since 2011; that’s the equivalent of one person working full-time for more than 238 years.
A good deal of the volunteering our guardians do happens because they are kind people who want to make a difference, and would do so whether or not they were housed by Dot Dot Dot.
However, we dug into the numbers and worked out that £2.1m of the value of the time guardians have given to charity is directly due to our efforts.
That’s £2.1m contributed to the charitable sector that wouldn’t exist without Dot Dot Dot and its guardians.

Dot Dot Dot is a social enterprise which allows people who do great voluntary work to live in buildings that would otherwise be empty. We provide good, inexpensive housing to people who make a difference, we protect buildings for their owners, and we contribute to communities. Everyone wins.
