Over the years the NEC have supported learning & development through conferences and workshops and contributed to policy across all 4 nations highlighting the importance of Housing on health and well-being, & of accessibility and Inclusive Design.
This month we held 2 workshops (Bristol and Manchester) and our last NEC meeting.
Thanks to all NEC members – past and present, and to all @RCOT_Housing members – lets continue to keep the impact of well designed, accessible and appropriate Housing front and centre!

The ‘Fit for Our Future‘ campaign works with Housing Associations to improve housing accessibility and adaptability in the UK. Currently, less than 10% of homes meet basic accessibility standards. In this blog we share insights from the campaign’s launch.

The lack of #AffordableHousing = housing inequity; a lack of accessible homes = housing inequality. #AccessDenied @InclusionLondon
That’s why 2 years on from govt promise to raise minimum standards, #HoMECoalition call on @mhclg to get Britain building new #AccessibleHousing

Living in a house that's too cold or difficult to heat can lead to serious illness. Cold homes have been known to lead to a higher risk of stroke, respiratory infection, and falls.
It's time to sort out unsafe housing for everyone.
