The National Housing Federation, or NHF, is the “trade body” for housing associations.  Very active in promoting the wider value provided by social housing, the NHF is keen to showcase good practice in community involvement and help with independent living.  Beyond Homes is the NHF magazine which, this winter, is focusing on the contribution housing associations make to the Big Society.  Among the many features is one covering St Martins’ efforts to celebrate service user achievement and promote talent.  You can read the Winter 2011 edition of Beyond Homes here –  Beyond Homes magazine Winter 2011
