It’s a big birthday for the NHC – we’ve been the voice of housing in the North for 50 years!

Tenants are at the heart of housing, and the NHC’s work. So, this year we’ve decided to expand Unlocking Success, our bursary scheme, so we can support more people living in social housing to realise their ambitions.

The Unlocking Success Bursary Scheme, funded through the Northern Housing Consortium Charitable Trust, awards bursaries of £500 to help tenants develop learning and skills to support future employment. We’re delighted to be able to extend the scheme this year to offer 50 awards of cash, laptops, or vouchers to celebrate our 50th year and to support this fantastic initiative.

Our very own Matthew Johnston is tackling the Tough Mudder challenge on June 15th. If you’d like to sponsor him, with all funds going to our brilliant Bursary scheme, please do so here!

Applications for this year’s Bursary are now open, and you can see more on the link above.
