The Housing LIN welcomes a new member to its team!

Hello! My name is Sally Taylor-Ridgway, and I recently joined the Housing LIN team as the Digital Communications, Marketing and Events Officer. I will be responsible for developing and marketing the Housing LIN via our digital and external communications programme and learning and improvement network activities. My role supports the delivery of our regular online events, such as our virtual annual conference and HAPPI Hour webinar sessions, as well as several high-profile learning and improvement events that support our influencing, networking and consultancy activities.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, I supported the data administration for the Novavax Vaccine research study delivered by the NIHR Patient Recruitment Centre at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital Trust. Prior to this, I studied BA (Hons) International Development at the University of Portsmouth and MA Conflict, Security and Development at the University of Exeter before embarking on a Graduate Business Partnership Scheme as a community engagement coordinator. In addition, I have volunteered for various local, national, and international charities in communications and marketing roles.

In this new and exciting role, I will showcase the work and further champion improvements to the housing and care needs of older and disabled adults. Moving forward, I am very much looking forward to being part of an established network for housing, health and social care professionals.

With this said, you are more than welcome to contact me via comms@housinglin.org.uk
