🖥️BOARD OPPORTUNITIES🖥️

WDH have joined up with the Housing Diversity Network (HDN) to deliver a two year learning, development and mentoring programme, to support and nurture a more diverse cohort of future Board members in the housing sector.

They are keen to provide Board experience for those individuals who may find there are barriers in the way of access to such opportunities, with the longer term outcome that they become full Board members, either at WDH or elsewhere within the housing sector.

You do not have to have any previous specific experience in social housing but you do need to be passionate about what they do and the positive impact Wakefield District Housing want to make on people’s lives and communities.

What a day it was at The Eastside Rooms Conference Centre in Birmingham! The venue was outstanding, the facilities were top-notch and the speakers were brilliant.🎉

We had the privilege of hearing from two amazing keynote speakers. Guilaine Kinouani shared her lived experience of racism in the UK and opened our eyes to the realities of it. While Theo Smith, the founder of Neurodiversity at Work , shared his experiences as a neurodivergent person and emphasized on the importance of looking at their strengths.

We hope that each future conference will continue to highlight the strengths of a diverse range of people. Our network's objectives are promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion in the sector.

And a shout out to our Sponsors Charity Bank

Our Chief Exec Mushtaq Khan has written about how The Better Social Housing Review Action Plan is a call to action on racial justice.

"The BSHR is, I believe, a call to action to help tackle major racial injustices in a society that is ready for change"

What an amazing celebration we had at the House of Lords in Westminster, commemorating Housing Diversity Network's 20th year anniversary! 🎉🥂

We were delighted to see both old and new faces, and to celebrate this amazing milestone for HDN. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported our mission to spread our message and values throughout the housing sector. There is still so much work to be done, but we are committed to fighting the good fight. Here's to another 20 years of promoting diversity and equality in the housing industry!
