This week’s HLINks: 5 - 9 July 2021

Welcome to our must-read weekly bulletin, HLINks, week-ending Friday, 9 July 2021.

This week we published a guest blog by Maarit Heinonen-Smith, Associate Director at IBI Group and Lead for Retirement Living and Senior Care, exploring the concept of vertical retirement villages and what this looks like for the UK. We also thank Katey Twyford, for all the support she has provided the Housing LIN over the years as dementia co-lead, and welcome Candy Worf, Senior Commissioners at Somerset Country Council, who we are pleased to announce will be taking over.

In other news, we highlight a range of items that we think will be of interest to you, including:

• a reflection on the HAPPI4 Report for #RuralHousingWeek (opens new window)
• and for #CoProWeek (opens new window), a reminder of our illustrated CollaborAGE directory
• ILC-UK’s new report on the benefits of supporting people to spend more time in good health, and
• we take a look at what was said during last Thursday’s parliamentary debate on housing with care
