We are excited to share the next stage of our SHAPE Exchange partnership with the Housing Learning and Improvement Network (Housing LIN). They are hosting a SHAPE HAPPI Hour webinar on 27 October 2026 to launch the SHAPE Challenge Fund.
The SHAPE Challenge Fund is a minimum of £3m which will support three to five areas across the UK to become SHAPE sites. Funding will be available for up to three years for partners to turn evidence about better housing for an ageing population into practical action. We are looking for meaningful improvements to the quality and provision of age-friendly, technology-enabled housing and places at a locality level, and services that support independence and facilitate better care at home.
The SHAPE HAPPI Hour will outline the policy context for the programme – including the Casey Commission and Neighbourhood Health – and then detail the eligibility criteria, processes and milestones for applying for funding.
When: 27 October, 4 – 5.15pm
