Our WISH Vision
In the current economic climate, professional networking is more important than ever. Joining WISH gives our members excellent opportunities to network with women at all stages of their careers and across the whole range of Organisations who operate in the Sector – both private and public. This is what really sets WISH apart and ensures our members get maximum benefit from being part of our Group.WISH are run by committed Regional Boards dedicated to making sure WISH provides an engaging calendar of informative and entertaining events for our members. WISH are also working hard to develop a Careers Advice Programme for female school and college leavers explaining all about the exciting job opportunities within the social housing Sector. The two major issues that are the cornerstone of the WISH Vision are:

- encouraging more women to choose careers in the affordable housing and construction sectors when they leave school, college or further education.
- addressing career progression for women already in these sectors, challenging stereotypes and barriers and encouraging successful behaviour.

WISH meets formally four times a year. Events give members opportunity to network in friendly and relaxed environments. WISH always invite inspirational guests to speak to us on a range of interesting and enlightening topics – we always receive excellent, positive feedback from members who have enjoyed our evenings.
