HLINks Weekly: 28 September 2026

Out now, the latest edition of HLINks!

This week we have moved our HAPPI Hour webinar to 4pm on Thursday for a special session to mark International Day of Older People. Co-chaired by Siobhan Casey, Commissioner for Older People for Northern Ireland, our panel brings together senior figures from all four nations to compare how each nation is shaping its housing and care offer for an ageing population.

And following her recent appearance on the BBC Breakfast sofa, we are also delighted to welcome Elaine Unegbu of the Age Friendly Manchester Older People's Board to the panel to talk about their success in getting older people's voices heard in local planning and development. Register your place now.
