Focussing on the fundamentals
Focussing on the fundamentals
I have been Chair of Trustees at Hft since 2016, and during this time have seen many changes across the sector. Years of underfunding are taking their toll, now threatening the nancial viability of some larger scale providers.

The recruitment crisis has also deepened, adding to the pressure on our staff teams who are working hard to provide quality support to the people in their care. Meanwhile, the sector is still waiting for a long term sustainable solution to the social care funding crisis from the Government.
Amidst this backdrop, Hft’s focus has been on maximising our own nancial sustainability, while also ensuring we continue to build and develop on our strong foundations. We know our Fusion Model sets the standard for great service delivery, and despite the external challenges our teams remain
rmly committed to delivering services that keep the person we support strongly at the centre of all we do.
Over the last year our own recruitment campaign, Find Your Place, focussed on sharing the positive experiences and contribution that our teams feel they make to the lives of the people we support, and why a career in social care can be so rewarding.
Our Fusion Biz Model has championed the introduction of new systems and processes to help us work more ef ciently and ensure we are investing as much as possible back into our service delivery.
