The year before, we shone a light on how housing costs are pushing children in to poverty and called for an end to discriminatory ‘No DSS’ policies. The team plays a huge role in amplifying the NHF’s messaging and campaigns in traditional and social media.
We’re a proactive team, and this is a chance to be creative and develop exciting digital campaigning content as well as tell stories online that champion the amazing work housing associations do.
