This event will also provide an opportunity to shape the form and content of your regional events for the year ahead. These events are vital for CHA to capture your views, experiences and observations of sector challenges and successes.ratives initiatives. While these are currently only limited to certain regions, it is important for all our regional groups to discuss the possibilities of such initiatives rolling out elsewhere.
