Great opportunity to speak at @lb_southwark Council Assembly this evening, telling them about Appleby Blue Almshouse, and how we all benefit if we can be part of their strategy to deliver more homes for older people. Thank you @helendennis80 for your kind words.

The study findings are encouraging and motivate us to explore what is it about #almshouse physical design and resident support services that contribute to this longevity boost.

[United St Saviour's @UnitedStSaviour]

New study finds #almshouse residents get a longevity boost. Could the oldest form of social housing be part of the solution to the care crisis? @BayesBSchool @DunhillMedical @AlmshouseAssoc https://t.co/YqtNmHa3cv

Social inequalities are exacerbated in later life, affecting life expectancy. Join us for the launch of the Almshouse Longevity Report - a study that tested the hypothesis that living in an almshouse can lead to a longer life.

Members of ⁦@BSG_ERA⁩ & ⁦⁦@britgerontology⁩ you or someone you know may be interested in this opportunity to do an internship with ⁦@zincvc⁩ start-up in #healthyageing sector. Deadline is 10th March ⁩ https://t.co/j8u0m4o7kI

[Alison Benzimra @AlisonBenzimra]

we are working towards developing an Outcomes Framework that demonstrates improved health & wellbeing outcomes for our residents. Our Resident Support team are integral to this work. Please share this fantastic opportunity with your network https://t.co/PQknEESy5A

[Alison Benzimra @AlisonBenzimra]

Fascinating discussion on @zincvc inclusive innovation webinar - instead of a tickboxing exercise of gathering ppl’s characteristics, perhaps it better to ask if ppl are interested in learning more or getting expertise on areas such as race, ethnicity or sexual orientation.

Thank you to the @BBB_Insights team. As we develop the Appleby model of resident support & engagement, it’s so helpful to visit and meet people who are doing amazing work and so willing to share their learnings. @craddock1970

[United St Saviour's @UnitedStSaviour]

@BBB_Insights is an exemplar of knowledge exchange. @UnitedStSaviour team learnt about co-producing an outcomes framework with users. As we develop our #almshouse Appleby Blue model, these learning are valuable in how our residents can be architects of their health outcomes.
