A major housing conference titled Meeting the Challenge will take place in Irvine later this month.

The programme includes presentations on the future for housing providers by Ann Jarvie, deputy chair of the Scottish Housing Regulator, and Sally Thomas, the new chief executive of the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA).

There will also be a wide range of workshops led by experts in housing law, governance, tenant engagement, professional development and housing’s wider impact.

The conference is open to all, organised by Eydent, the alliance of Ayrshire housing associations - ANCHO, Atrium Homes, Ayrshire Housing and Shire Housing Association - and managed by SHARE.
