e² Consortium

The Association leads a consortium of five housing associations collectively called e² (pronounced 'e squared'). The consortium comprises Orwell Housing Association, Havebury Housing Partnership, Saffron Housing Trust (formerly South Norfolk District Council), Freebridge Community Housing Trust (formerly Kings Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council) and Colchester Borough Homes (which is an arm's length management organisation of Colchester Borough Council). Orwell provides development services for these organizations, with Orwell securing grant funding from the Homes & Communities Agency both for itself and its partners.

Additionally, the organisations jointly purchase and deliver training of mutual interest to staff, board members and tenants and are moving to a wider joint procurement strategy as well as formal arrangements to share information.
