We’re Magna Housing, a customer-centred housing association, mainly working in Dorset and Somerset (our head office is in Dorchester) with a vision to create great homes together. We want to make sure that we constantly add value to the lives of our customers, and our colleagues, and we work hard to deliver this year on year.

Our vision of “Creating Great Homes Together” is fundamental to the work we do and we have ambitious plans to be “beyond the best” over the next ten years.
