Bournemouth Churches Housing Association

Who we are

BCHA was founded in 1968 by a group of volunteers in Bournemouth trying to contribute to the local housing problems. Today we are a charitable housing association supporting individuals and families across the South West and South of England. We are a major provider of a diverse range of housing, support and learning services for socially excluded people. 

We have a continuing mission to meet housing need and end homelessness. We aim to achieve this through the building and provision of affordable and secure homes, and by supporting individuals to take control and lead independent, fulfilled lives.

Our culture and values

• We are passionate: committed to giving everyone an opportunity and courageously advocating for our customers
• We are person-centred: driven to achieve the best with and for people
• We are purposeful: setting clear standards for quality and working together to achieve more
• We are inclusive: embracing diversity and establishing an inclusive environment for all
