About Us
BACKGROUND TO WESTWAY HOUSING ASSOCIATION
Westway Housing Association Ltd was originally constituted as Grove Housing Association Ltd, in March 1987, and took over the running of a hostel from a local charity. It registered as a Friendly Society on the 28th June, 1988 and became registered with the Housing Corporation under the Housing Associations Act 1985, on the 6th September,1988. It initially operated in North Kensington alone, but soon expanded to other London Boroughs including Kensington & Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham, Ealing, Barnet, Brent, Westminster and Enfield. We currently has almost 500 self contained dwellings and 16 hostel bed spaces in management. We also have over 50 homes in our development pipeline. Westway HA is run by a Board of Management currently with 11 persons. Westway HA's staff structure is headed by Ricky Scipio, the Association's Chief Executive. There are 10 full-time staff based at the Association's main office at 1st Floor, Ladbroke Hall, 79 Barlby Road, LONDON W10 6AZ and 6 staff at its hostel for young unaccompanied asylum seekers aged 16 - 20.
