Thank you to everyone who joined us, both in person and online, for our 2026 Annual General Meeting. It provided an opportunity to reflect on a year characterised by significant impact, resilience and change.
Throughout the year, we have continued to operate within an evolving and often challenging environment, presenting both opportunities and pressures for our organisation and our tenants. Despite these circumstances, our focus has remained steadfast. We continue to be committed to strengthening communities, supporting individuals and creating lasting, positive outcomes for those we serve.
This year also marked a period of transition within our leadership team
We were delighted to welcome Jonathan Davies as our new Managing Director. We also recognised the contributions of Jennifer Ekelund, who stepped down from the Board during the year, and Cate Tiedeman, who will leave the Board in December. On behalf of the organisation, we extend our heartfelt thanks to both Jennifer and Cate for their outstanding commitment, leadership, and service.
Looking Ahead
It was also an opportunity to look ahead to a period of significant change for our organisation.
As we move into the coming year, we will be reshaping our organisation to ensure we are well positioned to meet future challenges, respond to changing needs and deliver our strategic priorities. While this transformation will bring change, our commitment remains constant: supporting our tenants, strengthening communities and delivering lasting positive impact.
We are grateful to our investors for their continued confidence and support. Their partnership enables us to invest in our homes, services and communities, providing a strong foundation as we evolve and position ourselves for long-term success.
