 We close 2025 after a fantastic year of campaigning and building our community. We look forward to opening 2026 with an even greater determination to change the toxic housing environment. You can read about the last year’s challenges and achievements in our Annual Report, and see what we are doing to create tenant and resident power through the National Housing Union project in 2026. It only remains for us to thank every one of you for the contribution you have made to our successes, and yours! Wishing you all a peaceful festive break. |
