East of England regional meetings

East of England Sounding Board

The forum is shaped by a small sounding board of members from a variety of housing associations across the region.

The sounding board directs the agenda for the Leader’s Forum meetings and is the first point of contact for member engagement in the East of England in our forum meetings. Sounding board membership is reviewed annually. If you are interested in joining the sounding board, contact our Admin team.

Members of the sounding board:

  • Regional Chair – Kirsty Pepper, Managing Director, Peabody
  • Vice Chair - Paul Richmond, Chief Executive, Thrive Homes
  • Paul Edwards, Chief Executive, Delta Housing
  • Natalie Sturrock, Director of Housing, Hightown Housing Association
  • Matt Thomas, Chief Executive, Hundred Houses Society

East of England Leader’s Forum

Chief executives, directors, chairs and board members of housing associations are invited to attend the East of England Leader’s Forum, which is held three times a year in person. The forum is a place where senior housing leaders can discuss strategic issues and influence the NHF’s work. 

If you are a senior leader in the East of England region and aren’t receiving emails about these meetings, please contact our Admin team.
