Board

Latest News 

Impact is a social landlord, regulated by the Homes and Communities Agency and the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and is a member of the National Housing Federation (NHF). We are what is called an “exempt charity” – that is we work as a charity but are registered with the FSA.

Impact’s Board (another name for the Management Committee) is elected by the shareholding membership. The shareholders have a £1 share and elect the Board at the Annual General Meeting every year in June.

The Board consists of 11 elected members broken down into INDEPENDENT (individuals who have been recruited for their particular skills) and RESIDENTS and SERVICE USERS (who have been recruited because of their experience as our customers). Some of the residents and service users come forward from our Customer Forum.

Impact’s Board meets every month and any Residents or Service Users are welcome to come along and observe the Board (we are currently looking for additional Residents/ Service Users who might be interested in becoming Members of Impact).

Our Chair is Adrian Waite, who was elected at our AGM in 2011. Adrian has been on the Board for three years and is an accountant. He runs a management consultancy and training business in Appleby that focuses on finance, management and housing and that supports tenants’ groups in stock transfers.
