At the Centre for Ageing Better we believe that in order to reduce the number of unsafe homes across England, we need improve the local offer in accessing support for people to improve their homes.

Unsafe and poor-quality homes have serious health consequences for millions of people in Britain today.

This briefing shows how stories can help you to achieve change by bringing your work to life and show how your services can and do improve people's lives.

Ageing Better’s new report found that by removing the most serious risks to people’s health and safety from the country’s poorest quality homes where the head of household is 55 or over would result in savings to the NHS of nearly £600 million per year.

This research has produced three reports which we hope will serve as a useful resource for local authorities interested in expanding the financial support they offer their residents.

This briefing contains a series of ‘top tips’ and ideas to support your work to show the impact of your service – what it does and how your service achieves what it sets out to do.

This briefing outlines some of the challenges and proposes potential solutions to help home improvement services to support people living in cold homes.

This report is a compendium of past and current policy interventions designed to improve housing quality in England.
