Scottish Churches Housing Action (SCHA) has welcomed Heather Zajac as its new development manager as 2018 gets underway.

Heather has experience in volunteer co-ordination with Fresh Start in Edinburgh, and more recently as Scottish social networks co-ordinator with the Rock Trust.

Alastair Cameron, SCHA chief executive, said: “We’re delighted to bring Heather into the team. She’ll be making a new start in stimulating action to prevent homelessness and help people experiencing homelessness.”

Heather added: “I’m very much looking forward to the new challenges ahead. I’ll be contacting local projects and church groups, helping to make the most of the churches’ energy for tackling homelessness in Scotland.”
