History

How we're managed

We're directed by a Board of Management and work to the National Housing Federation's code of governance. The Places for People Group agree all our Board appointments.

Shareholding membership
National shareholding membership is open to the Places for People Group.

Community shareholding membership is at the discretion of the Cotman Board of Management and was open historically to anyone with knowledge, experience, skills which complement the aims of the association. We are not currently offering community shareholding memberships, preferring instead to work in partnership with any organisation or individual who support our ethos and/or wishes to volunteer in our communities.
