HLINks Weekly: 8 December 2025

Hello and welcome back to this week’s edition of HLINks. It’s been another full-on news week for the Housing LIN, and we are eager to share details about our latest events, tools and resources, provide a round-up of key housing, health and care stories affecting the sector, and list a selection of upcoming learning and improvement activities.

Tomorrow (09/12/25), we’re excited to host the penultimate HAPPI Hour webinar of the Autumn/Winter series: Exploring designs for new dementia-friendly housing and services to adapt our existing homes, delivered in partnership with the Dementia and Housing Working Group.

One year on from the Older People’s Housing Taskforce report, which highlighted the need for more age-friendly, dementia-inclusive, and culturally sensitive homes and communities, for this week’s HAPPI Hour we will be joined by Accent Housing, Pozzoni Architecture and Foundations, who will tell their story about becoming a dementia-friendly organisation and the latest innovations shaping dementia-friendly housing design and adaptations respectively. Find out more and register here.
