Nugent is proud to be attending MIPIM 2026, the world’s leading property and real estate event, to champion the vital link between property development and social responsibility.
Bringing together global developers, investors, local authorities and decision-makers, MIPIM provides a unique platform to explore how the built environment can better support communities. For Nugent, this conversation is not optional, it is essential.
Why MIPIM Matters to Nugent
At Nugent, our mission is to provide a lifelong pathway of support for individuals and communities in need. A safe, stable place to live sits at the heart of that vision.
MIPIM offers the opportunity to connect directly with industry leaders and local authority teams in one place. Away from the pressures of day-to-day responsibilities, it creates space for meaningful conversations about partnership, innovation and long-term impact.
As we continue our journey towards becoming a Registered Provider in mid-2026, these conversations are more important than ever. Achieving Registered Provider status will significantly strengthen our ability to deliver high-quality, affordable homes across the North West and ensure the long-term sustainability of our charity.
Building Sustainable Communities
MIPIM’s focus on growth and sustainability closely aligns with Nugent’s own goals. For us, sustainability is not only environmental, it is social and economic too.
It means creating communities where people can flourish.
It means homes that are affordable, safe and inclusive.
It means developments co-designed with social value embedded from the outset.
Nugent already has a growing property portfolio and land holdings. We are actively seeking socially responsible development partners who share our ambition to maximise the impact of these assets, creating homes that support true pathways of support.
Our aim is simple but transformative, to ensure that the people we support can move through their lives with stability and, where appropriate, into homes that Nugent can provide long after formal support ends.
The Role of the Property Sector
The property and development sectors play a critical role in addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing our communities, from homelessness and the shortage of affordable housing, to social isolation and inequality.
Developers and investors have the opportunity to:
- Co-design inclusive spaces that meet the needs of marginalised communities by engaging with communities to understand the requirements
- Integrate affordable housing into developments as standard
- Invest in community-focused models that prioritise long-term wellbeing
- Advocate for policies that promote socially responsible housing solutions
Through genuine collaboration, property professionals can help ensure that developments are not just about bricks and mortar, but about belonging, stability and opportunity.
Creating Pathways Through Partnership
Nugent supports children, young people and adults who are often facing complex and challenging circumstances. Our work spans safe accommodation, employability, poverty alleviation, supported living and improving quality of life. Our vision is simple, together, provide a lifelong pathway of support for individuals and communities in need.
Our property ambitions directly connect with this work.
We are currently progressing several key projects, including:
- The development of supportive housing for people at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness
- Community hubs offering accessible, integrated support
- ‘Edge of Care’ models designed to prevent children entering care by strengthening family support
These initiatives require strategic property partnerships to become reality.
By combining the expertise of developers, who create high-quality, sustainable homes, with Nugent’s deep understanding of community need and lifelong support, we can create environments where individuals and families truly thrive.
Bringing Community Voices to Global Conversations
It is critical that major global property conversations include a focus on social impact. The decisions made within the property sector shape cities and communities for generations.
By attending MIPIM, Nugent is ensuring that the voices of the people we support are part of that conversation.
We believe development should begin with understanding community need. The charity sector brings deep insight into lived experience, and meaningful consultation leads to stronger, more successful and more impactful developments.
As conversations across the sector increasingly focus on sustainability and impact investing, we welcome the growing recognition that social value must sit alongside financial return.
Looking Ahead
MIPIM is more than a conference for Nugent. It is a cornerstone of our growth plans.
As we move towards Registered Provider status and expand our pathway properties, building the right strategic relationships is essential. Events like MIPIM provide an invaluable forum to establish those partnerships, connections that will help us deliver the homes that are so fundamental to our mission.
Everyone deserves a safe, stable place to live and the opportunity to build a better life.
By working together with the property sector, we can ensure the future of urban development is inclusive, responsible and rooted in community. If you are attending MIPIM 2026 and would like to explore partnership opportunities with Nugent, we would welcome the conversation.
