Our Board
As a charitable Housing Association all of Newlon's activity is overseen by our Board which has ultimate responsibility for our Governance.
Our approach is to encourage Board members to work actively on our behalf to promote our role as a provider of affordable housing and community initiatives in north and east London. To reflect this each Board member has a specialist area of responsibility so that the Board's collective expertise supports the Trust's key areas of activity.
