SFHA - an invaluable resource for remaining up-to-date

Here is what Caroline Shepherd, Director of Cernach Housing Association had to say about what we do:

“ We’ve joined SFHA for two reasons. Firstly, it’s an invaluable resource for remaining up-to-date with new and changing legal, regulatory and best practice requirements within the sector, whether via written material from the website or by attending the SFHA forums – our staff very much enjoy participating in the various forums and feel that it makes them more effective in their day-to-day roles.  Secondly, and just as importantly, it is surely essential in the current climate that we play our part in ensuring that the sector has a strong, collective voice and that that voice is heard.”
