Island Life

The Harbour Carnival returned after a year off at the weekend. Christina Kennedy and photographer Andrew Le Poidevin were in the middle of a big crowd along the town seafront.

The Guernsey Housing Association is the island’s second biggest affordable housing provider, after the States themselves. Set up in 2002 as a not-for-profit organisation, it has grown rapidly. In just 24 years it has gone from owning and managing no properties at all, to having a property portfolio of more than 1,000 homes. Peter Roffey sat down with the GHA’s chief executive, Vic Slade, and chief operating officer, Lisa de Kooker, to find out exactly what the organisation had planned next.
