This week HLINks: 10 – 14 October 2022
Welcome to #JeremyTalks (opens new window) and this week's HLINks.
What another full on week for the Housing LIN! We were delighted to be joined by Lord Best in Tuesday's HAPPI Hour webinar reflecting on 'What creates healthy cities? We heard from the Commission's author and two urban health projects funded by the UKRI's Healthy Ageing Challenge. Missed it? You can rewatch it here.
On the publication front, we issued the following resources:
- a new #InspirationalAchievement titled, Tunstall Healthcare and Beyond Housing.
- report published by the Almshouse Association about the impact of Covid on the movement.
In other news, we promoted a blog by TSA's Chief Executive, Alyson Scurfield, on the TAPPI project aims. We also drew attention to Mental Health Awareness Day.
Throughout the week, I co-judged the CIH's Housing Design Awards (ceremony on 25 November in Manchester) and attended two events in person, chairing a session on 'Designing cities for older people' on the 2nd day of the SALUS' Healthy City Design conference in London followed by presenting at Abbeyfield's regional event in York.
Lastly, we are always keen to hear stories, receive your good practice case studies and thought leadership. If you would like to contribute, email us at: comms@housinglin.org.uk (opens new window)
Stay connected, stay curious!
