From time-to-time
other organisations, usually Christian, which are involved in
the running of residential homes, contact us for help or advice.
Given the increasingly cumbersome legislation being applied
to residential homes, it is becoming more and more difficult
for small, independent operations to remain viable. In situations
like this, Keychange Charity is more than happy to help.
We can offer:
| • |
Advice on current legislation |
| • |
Help with staff recruitment and training |
| • |
Support with day-to-day management
of the home |
| • |
In some cases, Keychange will consider
assuming responsibility for the home. |
Fair Havens, our home in Southampton, was formerly an independent
Christian home for the elderly. Ted Ball was one of the original
founding Trustees, setting up Fair Havens in the first place
and then overseeing the transition to Keychange 25 years later.
He is now a Keychange Trustee: "I can speak for all
the former Directors when I say that we feel the move has been
the right one. We feel confident that the dedicated commitment
and the experience of the Keychange staff together with the
back up of an able Board, all of whom are committed Christians,
puts Fair Havens on a much sounder footing for the future than
could have been achieved by remaining as an independent Charity."
