Some of our projects.
Hill Group
Discover how VPS Guardians partnered with the award-winning Hill Group to breathe new life into a vacant care home in Bristol. By replacing costly traditional security with a vibrant Guardianship model, they not only protected the site but also created affordable housing local key workers; delivering real community impact while supporting future development.
Private School
When a former school site in Gloucestershire faced security challenges ahead of redevelopment, VPS Guardians delivered a tailored, cost-neutral solution. By placing live-in Guardians, the property stayed safe, well-maintained, and ready for its next chapter, while offering temporary housing to local professionals.
Care home
Faced with the risks of vacancy, a care home in Hampshire was transformed into a secure, lived-in space through VPS Guardianship. Within just 10 days, 20 vetted Guardians were placed on-site, protecting the property while providing affordable housing for local workers. This quick, compliant, and cost-effective solution showcases how Guardianship delivers both security and social value.
The Mornington Centre
Faced with rising risks at a decommissioned school site, Lewisham Council partnered with VPS Guardians to secure the Mornington Centre, saving over £5,000 per week in security costs. Through live-in Guardianship, the property stayed safe, compliant, and ready for future use, while offering affordable housing to local residents
