‘Delivering and developing homes for diverse communities in challenging times’

We all know good housing is the bedrock of thriving communities and supports good outcomes for individuals, public services and our precious natural environment.

Our 2024 One Big conference will be taking place on 4th and 5th July and will provide a space for leaders and managers within the sector to reflect on how the services they provide and the new homes they deliver can best reflect the diverse makeup and needs of their communities.

The conference will explore innovative approaches to:

• Engaging tenants sensitively and effectively across a range of areas, from repairs to retrofit;

• Considering the diverse needs of communities in services provided to tenants, from neighbourhood engagement to asset management;

• Factoring in community need to the design, development and delivery of new homes; and

• Championing biodiversity and integration of the natural environment

Staff and committee members who have recently joined a housing association can find the wide range of policies, regulations and jargon a minefield. This course will help to simplify the role of and activities carried out by housing associations, as well as de-mystifying some of the jargon.

This course is comprised of 2 half-day sessions. Part 1 will be held on Monday 8 July from 1pm to 4.30pm and part 2 will be held on Tuesday 9 July from 9.30am to 1pm.
