The charity has been managed by Neil Davies since its inception, and the Wellbeing Team has grown to be comprised of 9 part-time members. These staff members are organised into dedicated teams supporting older people, those with memory loss, and mental wellbeing.

As HI Friends looks forward to our next five years, the need for wellbeing support for local residents is as important as ever, and we hope that the Charity will continue to flourish.
