Steering groups currently operate in Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and London and the initiative is being gradually expanded. For more information about COFEM, click here

What our members say...
“I am particularly pleased with the bulletins - they always strike the balance between being informative but easily navigated… I love the quarterly meetings – again the balance between obtaining information and networking is just right. Also the HDN staff are all really professional and helpful – on top of being sociable and approachable of course!... I was impressed by the willingness at the last North East meeting to tackle ‘difficult’ issues – we had a very involved discussion about measuring sexuality in the workplace and I felt able to express my views openly and appreciated the other points of view expressed. If it wasn’t for HDN I would probably not feel as positive about diversity issues… with HDN membership behind me I feel energized and enthusiastic about the issues and have already started to network outside the group.” – Julie Riseborough, Service Improvement Manager, Newcastle & Whitley Housing Trust.

“I have used the enquiry line service on a number of occasions and have been very impressed by the speed of response and the comprehensive replies I have
received.” - Lisa Dixon, Broadacres Housing Association


"Excellent newsletter as usual, packed full of useful stuff!" Derek Sankar, Leeds Racial Harassment Project

"Thanks for the Briefing. It’s a great resource." Shaun Clydesdale – Social Inclusion Manager, Bolton at Home

“I have been impressed by the service and quality of information from the Housing Diversity Network. There is an emphasis on practical outcomes. Training courses are always relevant and practical.”– Jane Hiser, Employee Relations Manager, Coast & Country Housing
