CEO Development & Sector Insights - CIH Brighton Conference
Our CEO, Sandra Ferreira, recently attended the CIH Brighton Conference, joining colleagues from across the housing and homelessness sector to explore the challenges and opportunities ahead.
A clear theme emerged throughout the event:
With increasing budget pressures, growing regulatory responsibilities and rising expectations around tenant satisfaction and service delivery, frontline teams are being asked to do more with less.
At The Ferry Project, we believe it is our responsibility to remove barriers, support our teams effectively and ensure they have the right tools, skills and environments to deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients.
The conference reinforced the importance of:
✔ Strong, supportive leadership
✔ Investing in people and systems
✔ Creating the conditions for teams to thrive, not just cope
We remain committed to learning from the sector and continuing to strengthen our approach, ensuring we deliver high-quality, person-centred services to those we support.
