Recruitment and retention of staff is repeatedly being flagged as one of the key risks to delivery identified by social landlords – and I want to flag how the sector is dealing with it and what is working. It was a top 5 issue in this year’s Inside Housing survey of housing association risk registers. And last week’s fantastic and important report by the London Homes Coalition suggested that without action housing associations and contractors in London would face a gap of 2,625 skilled individuals to deliver planned investments over the next five years. The North East Housing Partnership has identified a need for more green skills, and skills and employability is a key part of its prospectus. The West Yorkshire Housing Partnership and York and North Yorkshire Housing Partnership prospectuses have a similar focus – more on that in my interview with Nick Atkin (who is vice chair and chair respectively) next week. The skills gap and the need to prepare the sector for the future are one of the reasons we launched our #HousingHires campaign in May – and one of the reasons Housing 2024 held a jobs fair in June. Given the obvious scale of the issue it would be great to identify and share learning from the very best recruitment and retention initiatives from across the UK. Given the campaign, I’m particularly interested to see the entries in the recruitment and retention campaign of the year and resident employment and training categories. There’s one week left for entries (well, four working days!) and we’re looking for campaigns that will help us find out the approach organisations are taking and hopefully share learning. (Should say, other categories are available – and looking forward to reading your good practice stories about resident and community-led decision making, homelessness and financial inclusion, and older people’s housing). Would love to hear your stories if you are doing good work that other organisations could learn from. Entries close next week (full details on the link). #HousingHires #UKHousingAwards #UKHousing #HousingAssociation #LocalAuthorities Nick Atkin Fiona Fletcher Smith Elly H.

We were delighted to attend Housing 2024 in Manchester last month, where the housing and wider living sector came together to discuss, collaborate and identify solutions to tackle the current housing crisis. Read all about the event here! #housing2024 #housing #housingcrisis #networking

We managed to fit in a lot over three days at Housing 2024 - showcasing our Maintain and Sustain services, hosting a drinks reception, plus supporting Housing Rocks! Decarbonising the housing sector was once again a key topic, and our team were able to demonstrate how we can help social housing landlords achieve an EPC rating of C or above by 2030 through whole house retrofit programmes. We hosted a drinks reception for delegates and with over 100 people in attendance it provided the ideal opportunity for those across the housing sector to network in a relaxed environment. Finally, we were a sponsor at the annual ‘Housing Rocks’ event in aid of the More Than Homes campaign, which aims to raise £1m for the The Trussell Trust. We’re proud to announce that over £10,000 (and still counting) was raised on the evening.
