Our partnerships

We are part of an informal group of housing associations in Norfolk and Suffolk. Members aim to support each other in delivering better services to tenants and local communities.

The National Housing Federation is the voice of affordable housing in England, representing the work of housing associations and campaigning for more homes.

PlaceShapers is a national group of more than 100 community-based housing associations. Formed in 2008, the group owns more than 700,000 homes and provides services to more than one million people.

Saffron is a member of Build East which is a collaboration of 15 housing associations in the East who work together to champion the housing sector, their communities, and their members.

Saffron is a founding member of Eastern Procurement (EP), a consortium of 10 social landlords with properties throughout East Anglia.

EP focuses upon joining together the needs and skills of its social landlord associates and efficiently procuring works and services on their behalf. It aims to achieve cost savings and promoting best practice across every project.

Your Own Place is a social enterprise, based in Norwich, providing solutions to end homelessness.

They have delivered Cost of Living workshops to tenants across Norfolk and Suffolk, in partnership with Independent East.

Homes for Cathy is a national group of housing associations and charities working together to end homelessness.
