NHF partners

The NHF’s Preferred and Sector Suppliers offer a range of products and services to support our members and the work they do.

All are committed to working in the social housing sector and provide services including legal, financial, insurance, consultancy, energy, IT, service charge analysis and setting and customer service. We also provide our members with access to insurance products such as director’s and officer’s insurance at preferential rates.

Work with us

We offer a range of partnership opportunities to organisations who want to work with housing associations.

Preferred Suppliers

As an NHF member, you have access to special rates or services from our Preferred Suppliers – reputable commercial partners who have expertise within the social housing space. We negotiate preferential terms and conditions with these partners to help you save money, so that you can use your resources as efficiently as possible to deliver on your social mission.

We receive commission from our Preferred Suppliers and we invest all this back in our work to support housing associations and their communities. We complete extensive due diligence on each Preferred Supplier, but we invite our members to conduct their own checks as appropriate to make an informed, independent decision.
