This week's HLINKs: 8 - 12 November 2021

Jeremy Porteus

Welcome to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and our must-read weekly bulletin, HLINks (opens new window), week-ending Friday, 12 November 2021

This is where you can take a tour of relevant resources and events on later life housing and independent living with regard to homes and communities, health and social care, design and technology, dementia, planning matters and more.

For example, this week, we published two Housing LIN guest blogs. The first follows the HAPPI Hour ‘From Moving on to Moving In’, is by Gail Lincoln, former researcher and lecturer in Health Science at the University of Westminster who reflects on her own research on wellbeing differences in older 'Movers' and 'Non Movers’. The second, by Julia Godwin, Business Development at Sparko TV, follows the recent launch of the TAPPI Inquiry Report, and reviews why Sparko TV support the 10 TAPPI principles.

With 3 weeks to go before this year’s Housing LIN Virtual Summit, we have been sharing more information on the great line-up of ‘IdeaTalks’ showcasing the latest in thought-leadership, highlighting product and service innovations, as well as bringing you cutting-edge research and practice development for the UK’s housing with care sector.

With the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in mind, we would like to remind you of our recent case study on Melfield Gardens, 100% affordable homes for Phoenix Community Housing that combine intergenerational living with HAPPI principles whilst targeting a highly sustainable Passivhaus standard.

We also highlight a range of items that we think will be of interest to you, including:
