WISH is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) and a not-for-profit organisation. This means that the money we make through our membership is put back into the organisation and funds the range of activities we carry out to support our members working across the UK housing sector.
We are governed by a CIC Board of Directors and the Board works closely with the WISH central support team to set the strategic direction of our business. The Board meet four times a year, to guide our work and ensure we continue to provide excellent support for our members and the wider housing community.
WISH CIC Board is made up of females from across the reach of our membership, with experience and expertise from both the public and private sectors.
We are funded through our memberships along with generous support from regional and national sponsors. Our sponsors are like-minded organisations, the support they provide enables us to deliver a fantastic range of events and services effectively and economically for our valued members.
By working in partnership with our sponsors we can create a far greater awareness of WISH and our aims and objectives. Together we can engage with a wider audience to promote our benefits around gender equality and showcase to others our unique approach to networking.
If you would like to support WISH through a regional or national sponsorship or partnership, we would love to hear from you. In return for your support we can offer you packages with great benefits. Please contact Gill Cook our Membership and Administration Coordinator for further details [email protected]
