A Roadmap for Independent Living: Reimagining Housing, Health, and Ageing in Scotland

This report, launched by Bield Housing and developed in partnership with Socialudo, sets out a 20-year vision for how Scotland can better enable people to live well, safely and independently at home.

The report captures the insights from a collaborative Hopetown Game event, which brought together Bield staff and key stakeholders from across housing, health, and social care. It shares key findings on the role of collaboration, prevention, funding stability, tenant voice and lived experience, as well as the empowering role of technology.

The recommendations call for a National Independent Living Strategy, and the report outlines three practical steps to turn intent into action via a shared, long-term framework that unites housing, health and social care to build a fairer, healthier Scotland where ageing well is part of everyday life.
