Benefits
Given the current financial constraints and challenging objectives of the sector, we strongly believe that shared services are vital for the Welsh RSL sector to achieve its objectives and outcomes by providing the following benefits: cost savings, enhanced quality, greater resilience, reduced management burden, reduced overheads and greater efficiency.
As a partner of CHC we hope that it will increase visibility of the positive difference we are making and increase the accessibility of our services to more housing association members, thus enabling more organisations to increase their effectiveness and efficiency through use of our services. We also hope to be able to bring our knowledge and expertise to support collaborative projects with CHC and other members.
