Northern Ireland network
About the network and chair
Grainne Mullin
Community Investment Manager at Radius Housing Association, Northern Ireland Network Chair
I have worked in housing for over 20 years, with Radius for 11 years. I moved into Community Investment because I could clearly see its benefit across the vast housing remit. I chair the NI network as I feel passionate that we can deliver more together and that genuine collaboration across the sector will ensure the very best outcomes for all of our communities. The NI network has just successfully completed our first truly collaborative project, the first of many I hope!

You can also join our ‘New Opportunities’ Basecamp team, where we will post about new funding, collaboration or job opportunities that will be relevant for all of our networks. Link to join here
Northern Ireland Network: Housing Associations aim to Stamp Out Antisocial Behaviour
This animated video is part of a campaign to tackle antisocial behaviour and promote good neighbourhood relations, it was launched by the NI network of the HACT Centre of Excellence in Community Investment.
Tenants from various housing associations across Northern Ireland were involved in the production process, with their lived experience being key to getting the key messages of advocating positive behaviours amongst tenants in order to create more settled and connected neighbourhoods, and simultaneously reducing the cases of ASB reported to housing associations.
