EAC Housing for Older People Awards 2010
At last the retirement housing sector has its own dedicated awards. 32 Awards were presented to providers of retirement and sheltered housing at Lord’s Cricket Ground on 4th February. Some 340 professionals and residents attended this first annual event.
Lord Bill McKenzie, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, opened the proceedings, followed by a lively impromptu by the much-loved actor Liz Smith, herself resident of a retirement housing scheme.
Nominations for the awards had been submitted by the residents themselves through an innovative game of cards designed to stimulate discussions and capture satisfaction ratings on all aspects housing for later life. 2140 residents sent entries from all over the UK.
The Awards were part funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government and by the Housing LIN of the DH Care Networks; Nationwide Building Society and Legal & General are its 2 core sponsors.
