HAPPI Hour - A universal offer: International Day of Older People

To coincide with the International Day of Older People, we shifted our HAPPI Hour webinar to the Thursday this week. Delegates joined us to take a look at how the 4 corners of the UK are approaching housing for older people, celebrating latest housing policy and practice developments that challenge ageism. Co-chaired with Siobhan Casey, the Older People’s Commissioner in Northern Ireland and SHAPE Advisory Board member, the session brought senior figures from the mainstream and specialist social housing sectors in Scotland, Wales and England to showcase what each is doing in turn to meet the housing needs and aspirations of an ageing population. 00:00 – 03:59 - Introduction: Jeremy Porteus, Housing LIN & Siobhan Casey, Commissioner for Older People for Northern Ireland 04:00 - 17:39 - Angela Currie, Hanover Scotland 17:40 - 30:56 - Joanne Kirrane, Hedyn Wales 30:57 - 43:02 – Kris Peach, Chief Operations Officer, Housing 21 43:03 - 53:53 – Elaine Unegbu, Age Friendly Manchester Older People's Board 53:54 – 1:06:09 – Siobhan Casey, Commissioner for Older People for Northern Ireland 1:06:09 - 1:14:57 – Q+A and panel discussion 1:14:58 - Summary, thanks and close
