WISH is a professional and friendly Network giving members the opportunity to network in relaxed, safe environments whilst enjoying inspirational guest speakers and making a wide spectrum of contacts, some of whom may become friends for life.
WISH is run by a Central Board ensuring our strategic aims are met and the regions are adequately supported to deliver an engaging calendar of informative and entertaining events for our members.
The major objectives that are the cornerstone of the WISH Vision are:
- Encouraging more young women to choose careers in the affordable housing and construction sectors when they leave school, college or further education.
- Addressing career progression for women already in these sectors, building confidence, encouraging success and challenging stereotypes and barriers.
- Motivating women to stay in the sector by offering guidance through our mentoring programme and peer to peer support at our networking events
- Being thought-leaders in the sector, highlighting the issues of diversity, gender inequality and what the sector can do better to retain women and address the gender pay gap.
