Housing Associations

Housing associations are under real pressure right now.

Net zero targets, retrofit programmes, changing regulation, and the expectation that your whole organisation moves in the same direction. But sustainability can't just live with one team or one person. It needs to become part of how everyone thinks and works.

It takes the right knowledge, shared across the right people - from housing officers and HR teams to senior leadership. That's where we come in.

We work with housing associations to build genuine sustainability capability across your organisation. Our training programmes are developed and delivered by trainers who understand the sector.

We offer three courses designed specifically for housing associations, as well as bespoke options:

Carbon Literacy for Social Housing
Sustainability for HR & Greening Culture
Sustainability & Climate Essentials (short-course)

“Change Agents UK recently delivered their Carbon Literacy training to me and some colleagues at my workplace. Our trainer Eleanor was, hands down, the best trainer I’ve ever had. It was refreshing to have a trainer who truly cares about what they teach. A truly excellent company”

Definitely one of the best training courses I have attended.

Carbon Literacy for Social Housing

Carbon Literacy is “An awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis.”

This one-day course, specifically designed for social housing, provides your team with an understanding of the key impacts, risks, opportunities and solutions to climate action. It is suitable for staff across any housing association to bring them into your sustainability journey. With the requirement for all participants to pledge two carbon-saving commitments, it is a fantastic way to empower all teams to become sustainability champions, using their role-specific expertise to feed organisation-wide change.

Whether you want us as your dedicated delivery partner, want to upskill ready to train your staff yourselves or want help with a specific part of the process, we can help!

Planning

We can help you plan your first Carbon Literacy course. Sharing tips and recommendations to get your training off the ground.

Delivery

We can deliver the course directly to your teams online or in-person. We tailor the course to your organisations' context and group aims, then lead the whole process from pre-course materials to assessment and certification.

Support

Learners need to submit evidence to the Carbon Literacy Project to get certified. We can review their work and offer 1-2-1 support where needed to ensure high pass rates and no unnecessary costs.

Upskill

If you want to take the training in-house, we offer a facilitator support programme, and can co-facilitate sessions while you gain the confidence to go solo.

Sustainability for HR and Organisational Development

Most sustainability strategies stall not because of lack of ambition, but because the culture hasn't caught up. HR teams are uniquely placed to change that. From recruitment and induction to learning and development, the way you shape your organisation's people practices has a direct influence on whether sustainability becomes embedded or stays a policy on a shelf.

This three-hour session is designed specifically for HR professionals who want to move beyond awareness and start taking meaningful action.

Together, we'll explore what sustainability really means in the context of your role and remit, and use our Sustainable Culture Framework to identify practical steps across skills, processes and culture. You'll leave with a clearer picture of where your organisation is now and where you can make the most difference.

What to expect:

A grounded introduction to sustainability, framed around HR practice
Exploration of your organisation's culture and where the gaps are
Practical tools and frameworks you can apply straight away
An interactive session

3 hours | Virtual or in-person | Tailored to your organisation
