Welcome...
The NWA is a voluntary organisation run by those who deal with people in any form of supported housing - but especially for those dealing with older adults. The NWA is committed to improving the professional status and level of support to its members. It is not a trade union. It has no negotiating machinery for salaries or other conditions of work.
It sees the improved training of its members as having a vitally important spin off for the well being of residents within sheltered/supported housing. The committee work on a voluntary basis. We listen to the problems and grievances of our members, talk through them and advise.
Where it is felt necessary, point members in the direction of special help.
