This week's HLINks: 17 - 21 April 2023
This week, we were delighted to announce that United St Saviour’s Charity, a charitable organisation dedicated to providing community investments and provision of almshouses for older people, became a new corporate sponsor of the Housing LIN, and exclusive sponsor of our almhouse webpages.
And, following a brief intermission after our successful virtual Summit earlier this year, our HAPPI Hour webinar series has resumed this week. Our inaugural session for the Spring/Summer series focused on the Archbishops Reimagining Care Commission. If you missed it, you can now rewatch it here.
Other items that caught my interest this week include:

And, in case you haven't secured your spot yet, we're pleased to provide information about our upcoming HAPPI Hour session on Tuesday, 25th April in collaboration with Look Ahead Care and Support, How can supported housing providers help the NHS with some of its greatest challenges?
Finally, we're always eager to hear your stories and receive your case studies and thought leadership on good practices. If you would like to contribute, email us at: comms@housinglin.org.uk (opens new window).
