This week's HLINks: 24 - 28 January 2022

Jeremy Porteus

Welcome to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and our must-read weekly bulletin, HLINks (opens new window), week-ending Friday, 28 January 2022

This week, we were delighted to partner with the University of Bristol and ILC-UK in the launch of the findings from the Diversity in Care Environments (DICE) Project. Funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, the resultant report, 'Inclusive Neighbourhoods - promoting social inclusion in housing with care and support', and an accompanying Learning Resource Pack with access to a selection of podcasts can both be found on the new online DICE webpages hosted on the Housing LIN’s website.

We also kicked off our new season of HAPPI Hour sessions this week. Over 240 people signed up to hear from NE housing association, Thirteen Group, who shared the lessons and outcomes from their Living Well corporate strategy. The feedback (opens new window) was tremendous!

Missed this? A recording of the session and the slides are now available on the event's webpage. And remember to book your place for the next HAPPI Hour session on Tuesday, 8 February. We are partnering the National Academy for Social Prescribing and HACT to take a deep dive into social prescription and wider community building.
