Delighted to visit the wonderful Appleby Blue Almshouse yesterday evening to present the winning prize in this year’s Housing Design Awards.

This government is as ambitious about quality and design as it is about boosting housing supply.

Lovely session with residents of Appleby Blue #Bermondsey #se16 introducing a new intergenerational art project by showing them some wonderful Year 5 @boutchercofe paintings. This is the next stage of my ongoing Boutcher Primary art residency, part funded by @UnitedStSaviour

Appleby Blue is featured as a case study in the APPG Inquiry report as an example of a housing provider demonstrating a willingness and appetite to create a new generation of sheltered housing that provides aspirational housing options for people in later life.

This latest @HomesEngland report supports findings from Bayes (2023), The Smiths Institute (2022), and Housing Lin (2021), all of which highlight #almshouses as providing not just housing but a supportive community of good neighbours.

Fantastic Akwasidae festival at Camberwell Green - so great to see so many people enjoying & celebrating the rich Ghanaian culture & heritage.

There was lots of tasty Ghanaian Jollof rice on offer but I’ve got my supply of Waakye 😋 😋

Thank you to all the organisers 🙌🏾🇬🇭🙌🏾

[Evelyn Akoto @evenor23]

Akwasidae- Ghana culture takes over Camberwell park. What a fantastic display

Excited to announce that Appleby Blue is shortlisted in the 'Best Supported Housing Development – Urban' category at the Inside Housing Development Awards! Proud to be recognised for delivering quality and sustainability in UK housing. #InsideHousingAwards #ApplebyBlue

[AlmshouseAssociation @AlmshouseAssoc]

Following @AngelaRayner's announcement addressing the #affordablehousing housing crisis, we hope the planning review of small-scale development opportunities enables #almshouse charities to provide additional much-needed homes and communities that will be available in perpetuity.
