Charity boss to retire after 29 years of helping the homeless

ANDREW REDFERN HAS SEEN FRAMEWORK BECOME A REGIONAL HOUSING ASSOCIATION

- By LORNA HUGHES

A LONG-serving charity boss is to step down after nearly 30 years working to tackle homelessness and its causes across the East Midlands.

Framework began with two night shelters and a handful of unwanted properties and now helps 18,000 people every year as a registered housing association.

Andrew Redfern has led the charity and one of its predecessors, Nottingham Help the Homeless Association (NHHA), since 1996. He plans to retire in December and the hunt for his successor has begun.

In the late 1990s, as Director of NHHA, Andrew was an architect of the merger with Macedon, a similar Nottingham-based charity, which resulted in the creation of Framework in 2001. Andrew became its chief executive the following year.
