Governance

Estuary Housing Association is a not-for-profit housing association driven by a strong sense of social purpose and a shared set of values. One way we realise our purpose is by being well governed and financially resilient.

Estuary conducts all activities in accordance with our Rules, Standing Orders and Financial Regulations which are requirements of the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), HMRC and other statutory and regulatory bodies.

Executive Team

The Executive Team report to the Board of Management and meet regularly to ensure that they effectively lead the organisation by translating strategic direction into positive actions and monitoring these. They have responsibility for all of Estuary’s business streams and activities.

Board Of Management

Estuary Housing Association is overseen by a Board of Management (the Board) that monitors how we deliver services to residents, sets our strategic direction, establishes plans to achieve our key objectives, determines, maintains and ensures compliance with Estuary’s strategic objectives, vision and values, ensuring the long-term success of the Association.

The Board provides systems of control and a framework of delegation to the Executive Team and staff. As a provider of social housing, we are regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing and we comply with the NHF Code of Governance 2020. 

The Board reflects the interests of the communities in which we work and possesses the essential specialised skills and necessary experience required to run, monitor and control the affairs of Estuary Housing Association.
