Become a Core Member

The UNIFY Network is free to join.
It is open and inclusive to all interested Housing Associations who are supportive of the network’s aims and objectives.
Housing Associations with a BAME network can join as a Core Steering Group member and have two representatives on our UNIFY committee.
A core committee of network members formed (not exclusively) of network chairs will develop and facilitate the activity of the network. This will be known as the Core Steering Group (CSG). The CSG will be responsible for overseeing and making sure that UNIFY are meeting the aims of the network.
Members will be expected to respect confidentiality and be prepared to advocate for the network and its aspirations. Members will undertake key activities, deliver outcomes and cascade information or feedback to their respective organisations as necessary.
When events or activities are organised, all members within UNIFY will contribute to resources e.g. cost and people in order to facilitate these initiatives.

We will evolve as our core membership grows and this will help shape what we do, contributing together to form best practices and events; creating a network of professionally proactive people who can learn from each other.
