Social landlord, specialist third sector support service provider, learning and work trainer, young people advisor - BCHA is known by many different titles, borne out of four decades of experience.

Our business isn't about bricks and mortar, or statistics, or projects - it's about people. About rebuilding lives and equipping people in vulnerable circumstances or people simply looking to find a way forward.

Bournemouth-based, our services are delivered across a wide geographical area from Reading to Exeter including the New Forest, Salisbury, Christchurch, Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth and Dorchester. The experience we've developed over forty years fits broadly under the key issues listed here. But our real expertise is understanding how life-changing challenges overlap for people. And a big part of our service is helping fellow support agencies benefit from that understanding.
