CT Brief – Issue 85
The challenge of ensuring there are more good quality and affordable social homes is not unique to the UK or Ireland, or so many other countries. It’s one thing to want to do it though: it’s another altogether to deliver it practically and cost-effectively.
In this issue, we focus on critical actions and solutions that government, housing providers and funders are – or could be – taking to meet the expectations and demands of people in housing need. In particular, we look at what is happening in Ireland (both South and North), as well as what’s happening in other UK jurisdictions.
More broadly, and beyond housing, we consider risk and assurance – a growing area of CT’s services for a wide range of organisations in different sectors (and look out for more on this soon from CT!) – and how board away days are critical to effective governance and boards that are fit for purpose.
At the same time, we profile the crucial work of Men Who Talk, one of CT’s charities of the year, who focus on men’s mental health issues.
