Women in Social Housing<\/a> (WISH) the member-based network for women working across every discipline of UK housing, has welcomed the National Housing Federation<\/a> (NHF) as its latest corporate member<\/h2>\n

Kate Henderson<\/a>, chief executive at NHF and Nicola Dibb, executive director at WISH met recently to discuss how membership of WISH could be of benefit to the NHF\u2019s employees and to formalise the arrangement which will see the two organisations work together to address the issue of gender equality across the housing sector.<\/p>\n

Dibb said that the NHF, whose members provide 2.6 million homes for more than six million people, is a perfect fit for WISH, which undertakes crucial work in challenging stereotypes and helping to remove barriers for women working in the sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled that the National Housing Federation has signed up to become a corporate member of WISH and we look forward to working together in our mission to address gender equality.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith over 900 members it is in a strong position to help support WISH\u2019s mission to promote the benefits of networking for women, encourage new talent and support existing talent to remain in the sector and help boost gender equality across housing and construction generally.<\/p>\n

As a Corporate Plus Member<\/a> of the WISH London region, the NHF will be able to access events in all of WISH\u2019s nine regions.<\/p>\n

Kate Henderson, said: \u201cThe National Housing Federation is delighted to be a corporate member of Women in Social Housing (WISH).<\/p>\n

\u201cHousing associations have a strong history of building good quality homes<\/a> and inclusive communities for everyone. But we know we need to do much more to ensure the leadership of our organisations are as diverse as the communities we serve.<\/p>\n

\u201cGender equality is vital for everyone, and we are proud to stand with WISH in doing everything we can to improve opportunities for women to become housing leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

WISH is an independent networking organisation for women working<\/a> in the affordable housing and construction sectors with nine regional groups. It focuses on encouraging more women to choose housing and construction as a career and supports the progression of women already in the sector, challenging stereotypes and barriers.<\/p>\n
