Village Housing Group Board

The business of Villages Housing Group is overseen two Boards which are made up of a wide range of professionals and local residents. It is their responsibility to oversee the strategic direction of both Villages Housing Association and Villages Community Housing Association.

The members have a range of skills with backgrounds in care, construction, commerce, law, finance, public administration, education and community involvement.

The Boards meet regularly - both as individual Boards and collectively - to discuss strategic group matters. The appropriate activities of each association are delegated to the Chief Executive and Senior Management Team as determined by the Standing Orders and Financial Regulations of each Association.

The diagram below illustrates the different Boards and groups that make up the "Group".
