In that time Helen has been at the forefront of many innovations and initiatives, providing superior housing for independent living in over 100 units at its two properties Muir House in Dibden Purlieu and Priest Cro in Black eld. In 2021 Helen oversaw celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the Association which was founded by Hythe & District Rotary Club in 1971 (now Hythe & Waterside Rotary). Helen said: “I’m so proud to have worked for MuirCroft for nearly 16 years, I have met so many wonderful people and had some great opportunities. A piece of my heart will always be with MuirCroft and what it does for people; by improving our homes so they remain fit for present and future tenants it allows many more people to remain independent for as long as possible.” MCHA Board of Management Chairman, Jean Adams, said Helen would be greatly missed by sta and tenants alike, adding “Helen’s legacy is a thriving housing association with a strong and dedicated team of staff. We are so sorry to see her moving on to pastures new, but wish her every success for the future.
