The association said it is delighted at the AGM’s success – its biggest and best yet. 

On Thursday 26 June, CHA’s shareholders were given a warm welcome by Catherine Boyle, CHA’s chairperson, who detailed the work staff and management committee members had been doing in the year to focus on the health and wellbeing of CHA’s residents alongside investing significantly in tenant’s homes and reviewing key risks facing the organisation.

Shareholders then heard from Joe Farrell, head of housing services, as to how CHA had performed favourably in performance during the year. Joe Farrell also advised that tenancy support continues to be a major priority in the year ahead. This ensures that the association not only meets its targets, but also affords CHA tenants with a range of support and assistance.

It was then time to hand over to Lynette Lees, chief executive, who reported on the association’s annual accounts and financial position at the year-end, concluding that CHA‘s finances remain robust with stable cash balances.

All enjoyed a special presentation highlighting CHA’s journey over the past 40 years and shareholders were all given a small keepsake to acknowledge this significant milestone.

Catherine Boyle concluded the meeting by acknowledging the hard work of her fellow committee members who carried out their unpaid work diligently and with dedication and thanking the staff team for their hard work throughout the year.

Shareholders, their guests and staff then enjoyed a social event with a fish tea, prize bingo, and a dance to wonderful live music.
