Leadership Sets

Do you want the leadership skills and qualities to transform housing for older and vulnerable people?

As recognised in the 2024 Older People’s Housing Taskforce report, leadership is critical to enable sector improvements and change. To support this, the Housing LIN operates a number of peer-to-peer leadership sets for aspiring sector leaders working across housing, health and social care. For example:

in the South West, supported by St Monica Trust, we have previously produced a vision statement, Putting Older People First: Our vision for the next five years. Further information from the South West can be found on our curated regional webpage.
In Wales, our Housing LIN Cymru Leadership Set was first established to support implementation of the Welsh Government’s Expert Group’s 2017 report on housing and ageing population. It continues to champion mainstream and specialist housing for older people in Wales. More on our curated Welsh webpages.

Leading improvement

By linking in with us, you are working with a pragmatic organisation, grounded in reality, with a practical approach, in touch with real-life concerns in your area.

And as we grow our SHAPE Exchange programme, locality and regional Leadership will become increasing vital to provide governance, support implementation, share learning and create sustainable solutions for an ageing population. We can help you to:

Act as role models and leaders in your field, and so influence practice more widely across our regions and nationally
Co-produce directly with older people to ensure your work meets their future expectations
Improve the way we work together to develop and share good practice and expertise in the design and delivery of our services across housing, health and social care
Identify opportunities and create new ways of working as a response to the issues facing the region
Encourage and build effective networks to add value to the strategic partnerships between the sectors.
