National Communications and Influencing Group

The National Communications and Influencing Group exists to support and advise the NHF on the communications, campaigns and influencing work we do on behalf of the sector.

The group contributes to organisational strategy, works with us to assess and manage reputational risk, and gives us feedback on important communications and influencing work.

The work of this group complements that of the National Communications and Influencing Network by helping to ensure critical information is disseminated to communications and influencing professionals working in the sector.
