The Good Home Inquiry was established to look at the poor quality of our homes, to consider the consequences, and to explore what needs to be done to put things right. It was crucial that real people were at the centre.
This new research for the Good Home Inquiry with BritainThinks and Sciencewise asked people living in poor-quality homes what they thought would help their situations.
With over four million poor-quality homes in England, over half of which are lived in by older people, this new research finds that local hubs have been backed by the public as a way to help address poor housing.
With an ageing population, the UK must become more accessible for those with mobility issues. Part of that is creating inclusive products that people actually want to buy.
For many, accessible adaptations are a last resort triggered by a crisis. It’s time we instead put the emphasis on creating luxurious, inclusive interiors that bring joy and comfort.
Many high street retailers are overlooking the growing over 50s market for easier to use homewares, appliances and fittings, new consumer research suggests.
