New name and new faces for Castlehill Housing Trust
Nicola Shand, Allan Manson and Lyn Cullum are the first to join the board as Castlehill representatives since the name changed from GCCCT late last year.
Castlehill Housing Trust is celebrating its new name with three new appointments to its board. Nicola Shand, Allan Manson and Lyn Cullum are the first to join the board as Castlehill representatives since the name changed from GCCCT late last year. Their appointment takes the trust to a full complement of board directors.
Celebrating the launch of its new name and website, Castlehill Housing Trust chose to introduce the new board directors to care provider partners and tenants at an event held at ‘The Fly Cup’ in Inverurie last month. Catlehill Housing Trust said that working with the staff at The Fly Cup “made perfect sense” as most of its tenants are adults with learning disabilities, and the venue, a local charity, provides employment opportunities within the catering industry for adults with similar disabilities.
Emma Ozanne, Castlehill Housing Trust Manager, said: “Castlehill Housing Trust uses its expertise in housing to work flexibly with experienced care providers and local authorities to provide a solid base from which an individual’s care can be provided.
“We hope to limit the need for frequent moves and enable those with complex and evolving needs to live in a place they can call home.”
The new board directors bring a wealth of knowledge and experience from their professional and personal lives, having worked in housing and with those with special needs throughout their careers. Castlehill Housing Trust said that being able to draw on fresh insight and views will help the board continue to meet the changing needs of its customers.
Nicola, Allan and Lyn are delighted to have been selected and are enthusiastic about the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Castlehill Housing Trust has been a subsidiary of Castlehill Housing Association since 2011 and is committed to growing its portfolio of properties to meet the growing demand within the North East of Scotland.
