National Organisation of Residents Associations

ABOUT US

Supporting and Empowering Residents Associations Across the UK 

The National Organisation of Residents Associations (NORA) exists to support Residents Associations by providing expert guidance, resources, and a united voice in local and national matters.

We assist members with critical issues such as planning, licensing, traffic management, car parking, and community safety. Our members gain access to a collaborative network where they can share experiences, seek advice, and access exclusive updates that help strengthen their communities.

NORA plays a vital role in influencing policy by participating in government consultations, ensuring the concerns of Residents Associations are heard. We encourage all members to contribute to these consultations, helping shape decisions that impact local neighbourhoods.

Established in 2003 by a coalition of town-centre Residents Associations, NORA was founded to address pressing environmental and urban challenges. Today, our membership spans England and Wales, connecting associations through digital platforms and offering free public resources via the NORA website.

Membership is affordable, with subscriptions set at £25 per year, and a reduced rate of £10 for smaller groups with fewer than 100 members.

Join NORA today and empower your Residents Association to make a lasting difference in your community. Together, we can create stronger, safer, and more connected neighbourhoods.
