Views from our advisory group

Members of the NHF's Finance Policy Advisory Group provide their views, insights and thoughts in a number of key updates for housing associations.

The Finance Policy Advisory Group (FPAG) is a panel of expert advisors from our housing association membership. The group helps to inform and drive the NHF's work on finance policy on behalf of the housing sector.

Nathan Mallows is Director of Finance & ICT at Coastline Housing and Chair of FPAG:

"I have been fortunate to be involved since 2017 when the NHF needed a representative from the South West and was nominated as Chair for the group in 2018. The group’s membership, in addition to providing an expert panel for the policy leads at the NHF, provides a platform for both the Regulator of Social Housing and the Bank of England to discuss social housing in a wider sense. We take feedback from those present, and via the links to the regional forums a wider cross-section of opinion and operational issues.

For me, the work of the group not only supports the great work that the chairs of the regional forums do (entirely voluntarily) but reflects on the importance of working together to achieve the best outcomes for our sector and ultimately our residents, communities and colleagues. I am grateful for the involvement of current and past members of the group who willingly give their time and expertise to help shape the sector's national policy agenda and work across other significant groups such as the SORP working party and ESG Early Adopters Group."
