We are super excited to host this Suitable Housing for an Ageing Population Evidence Exchange (SHAPE) HAPPI Hour webinar, in partnership with the Vivensa Foundation, and to announce the launch of the brand-new SHAPE Challenge Fund.
Overview
Building on the HAPPI and TAPPI principles, the £3 million SHAPE Challenge Fund will support local partnerships across the UK to become SHAPE sites. The Fund is designed to turn evidence on housing and ageing into practical action, supporting ambitious, place-based approaches that improve homes and communities and help people live well as they age. The emphasis is on practical implementation and lasting change, with learning from SHAPE sites shared more widely across the UK.
At this special SHAPE HAPPI Hour, we will set out the ambition behind the programme and what we hope the Challenge Fund will achieve. We will explain what we are looking for from potential SHAPE sites, alongside the eligibility criteria, application process, key dates and delivery arrangements, and provide an opportunity to put questions to the SHAPE team.
