Are there Saints out there?
For more than 40 years the housing association movement has been working throughout Northern Ireland to provide decent, affordable homes to all members of our community. This week we’re asking for members of the public to be our Saints.
These are challenging times for Northern Ireland. We are in no doubt the remainder of 2012 there will be an increase in the number of people seeking social housing. The support and guidance of voluntary board members (our ‘Saints’) is essential to housing associations. Serving on the governing body of a housing association, helping to maintain and improve vital housing services in your local community, is a hugely rewarding experience.
Our member housing association’s Board of Management should represent a wide range of interests and skills. We would particularly welcome expressions of interest from individuals who can demonstrate knowledge of Business Development, Strategic Development, HR, Housing Management, Finance, Marketing or PR.
If you have any of these skills or others which might support associations’ work and you are interested in being one of our Saints find out more by contacting NIFHA - T: 028 9023 0446, E: info@nifha.org or log onto our website www.nifha.org.
Thank you
