This week's HLINks: 21 - 25 February 2022
Welcome to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and our must-read weekly bulletin, HLINks (opens new window), week-ending Friday, 25 February 2022
In this week’s edition, we highlight a new Inspirational Achievement from Golden Lane Housing about their award-winning housing scheme for residents with a learning disability, Cordage View, Grimsby.
We also draw attention to a guest blog we published earlier this week by Methodist Homes’ (MHA) Director of Communities, Jonathan Mace on their partnership with Barclays’ Bank Digital Eagles programme.
You can now also access the recording to this week's highly successful HAPPI Hour on 'Levelling Up: Calling for post-Covid vision for housing, care and support'. The session explored a future vision for supported living, delivering better housing outcomes for older people, engaging and involving residents to improve their wellbeing, and how this can be best achieved in a more integrated way.
Other news that caught my interest this week, included:
- Llywodraeth Cymru Welsh Government: Written Statement: National Care Service – Expert Group (opens new window)
- Welsh Government £60m boost for Housing with Care Fund
- Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: Loneliness annual report: the third year (opens new window)
