This week HLINks: 5 - 9 September 2022

Welcome to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and this week's HLINks.

We are deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts are with The King and the Royal Family at this time. 

This week, we announced the six successful TAPPI testbeds. Bield Housing & Care, Haringey Council, Platform Housing Group, Pobl Group, Southend Care and Wiltshire Council will each receive between £65k - £75k in funding so they can involve their older residents in shaping new digital services. We are excited to work alongside each housing provider to improve the way technology is used in housing and care for older people through ten practical principles.

It's quieter on the news front this week so I'll take the opportunity to highlight some slight presentational changes. We now provide a more 'bitesize' round-up of new resources. While we will still highlight latest policy announcements, reports, case studies, etc, we encourage you to visit our news webpage where there will be a fuller account on key news items we've covered.

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!
