HLINks Weekly: 27 April 2026
Welcome back to HLINks, your weekly round-up of housing, health and social care updates from the past week.
Last week, we were excited to launch the sixth intake of our Future Leaders Programme, sponsored by Sovereign Network Group.
The free initiative supports early-career professionals with up to three years’ experience across housing, health and care sectors. Bringing together 15–20 participants, the programme focuses on improving housing options for an ageing population.
Applications close on 25 May 2026, with successful candidates gaining training, networking opportunities and a final recognition ceremony at the House of Lords in July 2027.
