Sustainability Strategy Group

The role of the Sustainability Strategy Group is to provide strategic steer at a national level for our work on climate change and sustainability, ensuring that our priorities reflect the priorities of the housing association sector by

• Steering NHF’s work nationally at a strategic level
• Leading the way by bringing together key housing association groups and partnerships together
• Refining messaging to the sector and to external stakeholders, and providing a forum to deliver this messaging
• Testing key strategic policy and funding asks
• Driving collaboration on sustainability across the sector
• Creating a forum for political engagement, or engagement with other key stakeholders across the sustainability work.

We will soon publish a finalised terms of reference for the group.
