6 months ago we launched VisitAHeatPump.com, an online service for people interested to see a heat pump in real life. Since then, over 600 people have visited a heat pump with many going on to install their own. Our new report shares insights into visitor motivations, outcomes and whether visits influence decision-making on getting a heat pump: nesta.org.uk/report/seeing-i…

On the continent, stylish, sustainable, community-minded social housing is a given, and nowhere more so than in Spain

Great article from @tom_chance for @insidehousing on the value of community-led housing and why the government should endorse the strategy from @CommLandTrusts, @CoopHousingUK and @UKCohousing to scale the sector up to help meet its housebuilding targets: insidehousing.co.uk/comment/…

Community-led housing is vital to building and retaining public trust

Will the government build on the success of community-led approaches to housebuilding, asks Tom Chance, chief executive of the Community Land Trust Network

Crazy stat in UK Housing Review: govt spending on housing is at its highest: £30.5 billion in 2021/22 compared to £22.3 billion in 1975/76, in real terms. In the 70s, 95% was on housebuilding, now it's only 12%. The main reason for this drop? A rise in demand for housing benefit.
