Information about WISH:

WISH is a unique group for women working in the affordable housing sector to network and share knowledge and experiences with one another.

Our members include women working in housing associations, local authorities, contractors, consultants, solicitors and house builders.
Between us we share a wide variety of knowledge and experiences.

The two major issues that we want to address in the sector are:

  • encouraging more women to choose careers in the affordable housing and construction sectors when they leave school or college

  • addressing career progression for women already in these sectors

We meet socially about four times a year, giving members opportunity to network in a friendly and relaxed environment. These events include a range of inspirational guest speakers who present to us on a variety of interesting professional topics.

In 2007 we launched our first major project aimed at "giving something back to the community".  Our schools project partners are Greenwich Education Business Partnership and Eltham Hill Technology College for Girls.

In summary, donations to WISH fund the following:

  • Our quarterly social and networking evening events
  • The work on our schools' project
  • Maintaining our website and developing it to inform and support our members

All sponsors of WISH will be recognised on all WISH correspondence and here on our website.

We hope that you will decide to give a donation (amount of your choice) to support the work of WISH.

Thank you for your support.
