A report launched by @ARCOtweets today, says downsizing is crucial to tackling the UK’s skewed housing market, and we agree.
Our 5 Birmingham retirement villages are leading the way providing homes for over 1300 older people and releasing over 1000 homes back into the community.
Today we launch our new report with @CassBusiness & @CSFI1. Authored by Prof Les Mayhew, ‘Too little, too late?’ shows the current undersupply of age-friendly housing, and how increased provision would boost downsizing & help tackle the housing crisis: bit.ly/3duCKVl /1

It's #VolunteersWeek and we want to give a big shout out to those who give their time to support our charity.
Inspired by the Clap for our Carers campaign, this week we are clapping for all our wonderful volunteers. We simply couldn’t do the work we do without you. THANK YOU! 💚

It’s one week until #VolunteersWeek! A time for us to say thank you for the contribution of our amazing volunteers.
Although we've had to postpone most of our planned activities, we will be recognising those who give their time to help us create better lives for older people. 💚
