Meeting the needs of the UK’s ageing population was  the theme of our Harrogate Event this year. With speakers from the Housing Forum, EROSH and Ian Williams, those attending had the chance to hear about best practice when working with older people, and find out more about the changing needs of this important aspect of the housing sector.

The latest stage in the award-winning Solihull MBC partnership has been reached, with the drawing-up of a draft team charter. Staff from Ian Williams were joined by Solihull representatives and the council’s other partners to create a document laying down the basis of the working relationship. The event also involved looking at the culture of the organisations, and key expected behaviours.
