Gill Barwick, Chair of the HCHA Management Committee said of the merger, “In BHT we have found an organisation with a similar ethos and focus on services to residents. As a Committee our first priority is our 114 residents and staff. We are proud of the quality services we have built in Hastings, especially our services for young people. By becoming part of BHT, there will be new growth opportunities as part of an organisation with ambitious, yet realistic plans for the future”.
BHT Chief Executive, Andy Winter, said, “We are delighted that HCHA has joined BHT. While we have a comprehensive range of services for homeless and vulnerable men and women, and wide ranging expertise, HCH will strengthen this because of the quality of their services to young people. By joining BHT, HCH will be able to retain its identity which is important given its excellent reputation. We want to build on what is already a very impressive operation. HCHA will benefit from BHT’s experience and expertise, resulting in continuous improvements in service delivery to residents”. |
