Why become an Advisory Partner

We would welcome a conversation about how partnering with the NHC could support your organisations’ strategic goals and help shape the future of housing in the North.

Partnering with the NHC gives you direct access to the organisations shaping homes and communities across the North. As an Advisory Partner, you can:

Build meaningful relationships with senior housing decision‑makers that open doors to new opportunities and influence conversations that matter
Share your expertise to position your organisation as a trusted sector partner
Connect your work to our collective northern voice
Amplify your message and extend your influence
Benefit from high‑quality engagement opportunities

To ensure a focused and well‑supported experience, we work with a limited number of Advisory Partners in each category. This selective approach helps raise your profile and ensures you’re well connected across our membership.

Who We Are

The NHC represents housing associations, local authorities, ALMOs and combined authorities across the North of England.

Our members own or manage nine out of ten socially rented homes in the region.

We bring the North’s housing sector together to develop insight, influence and solutions that create better homes and places.

Who we work with

Advisory Partners are organisations that bring relevant insight, innovation and experience to the housing sector and share our commitment to improving homes and communities across the North.

Advisory Partners don’t need to work directly in the housing sector, but they must have or want a strong connection to it.
