Description: This workshop session uniquely blends lived experience, design insight and delivery on the topic of delivering Accessible, Affordable, Adaptable and Safe housing today. Through panel conversations, case studies and an activity - participants explore why housing benefits everyone and the resources to achieve this.
Audience: For anyone interested in how accessible, affordable, adaptable and safe housing can be delivered in practice. It may be of particular interest to architects and designers, communityhousing providers, planners, funders, advocates, and those involved in building or retrofitting homes.
Description: This workshop will provide insights into planning, managing, financing and building new homes. Delivered through three distinct lenses, a series of 15 minute presentations with 15 minutes of Q&A. This is a delivery focused session that outlines in practical terms the process, the ways to identify and manage the risks, the considerations, and key elements that need to be in place to deliver new housing supply with the provider as the driver of that process.
Audience: Community housing providers, governance, management and project delivery staff who are considering the development of new homes.
Description: Change is a constant in the community housing sector — and with it often comes uncertainty, resistance, and fatigue for the people we lead. Understanding why change feels hard, and what your team needs to feel capable of navigating it, is one of the most valuable skills a leader can develop.
In this workshop, we'll explore the psychology of change and what people need to feel safe and supported through uncertainty. We'll introduce a simple change management framework as a practical lens for leading change, before rolling up our sleeves to apply it — working together to generate real, actionable ideas you can take back to your organisation.
Audience: People managers and leaders in any functional area who would like to gain knowledge and skills to support their people. Also suitable for other staff who would like to better understand change and uncertainty they are experiencing along with tools to support themselves and peers.
