This week’s HLINks: 13 – 17 February 2023
Welcome to #JeremyTalks, my overview of what caught my interest this week.
I am delighted to report that with just over a week to go before the start of our virtual Summit - A Festival of Ideas we have already attracted more than 2,250 registrations across the 10 sessions (27 Feb-3 March). If you have not already done so, browse the week-long programme and book you place(s). It's not too late as registrations will remain open until 24hrs before each session.
And ahead of our Futures Leaders' session on 28 February, we published two more blogs from the 2nd cohort of the programme. Read the Housing LIN's Darius Ghadiali's blog and Waltham Forest Council's Jack Baldan's blog and find out what they took away from our programme. And if you'd like to hear more from them and other members of the programme, sign up to their session - Inspiring young talent: investing in our future housing and care leaders (opens new window).
This week, we also released a new Housing LIN Viewpoint by Tony Watts OBE, co-founder of Age Action Alliance, in which he interviews Bob Durie OBE in Housing to span the generations: A 21st Century Almshouse for Bristol. Tony will also be speaking at our Summit in the opening session.
Some other items that caught my interest included:
- Have you taken part in TEC Alliance's YouGov Survey?
- TAPPI Cast and Thought Piece for Holyrood, Scotland
- new Chartered Institute of Housing paper on recent roundtable on housing, health and social care integration.
- a House of Commons (opens new window) briefing on finding funding for disability aids
- NHS Confederation (opens new window) CEO Matthew Taylor blog on preventative potential of social care
- Get involved in Uni of York INGENIOUS (opens new window) on air pollution in our homes. See YouTube promo animation
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!
