Irwell Valley is a charitable, not-for-profit housing association incorporated under the 1965 Industrial & Provident Society Act and is a Registered Social Landlord (RSL). Irwell Valley Housing Association is the parent company of the Irwell Valley Housing Group, which has six subsidiary components.

Irwell Valley’s Board of Management is made up of seven non-resident members and three resident members, who meet six times a year. There are also two executive members, the Chief Executive and the Deputy Chief Executive. Our Board sets our corporate objectives and values, makes policy and strategic decisions and monitors performance to ensure that our objectives are met.

To support the Board, there are three separate groups; Remuneration Committee, Audit Committee and Residents’ Committee. The Sale Estate Committee and the Haughton Green Estate Committee also report to Board and are responsible for monitoring our performance in the estates transferred from Manchester City Council in March 2000 and April 2005.

Our Residents’ Committee is chaired by one of the resident Board members and is made up of representatives from various Tenant & Resident Associations (TARAs). The committee reviews our overall performance and approves all policies, which impact on residents and their communities.
