Ever considered an apprenticeship?
For #NationalApprenticeshipWeek 2026 we've been speaking to our apprentices to find out why they chose this route and if they'd recommend it to others.

Kicking off 2026 in #Calderdale, where our first meeting on 28 January took us to #Todmorden to recognise the outstanding #community work across the borough from tackling #flooding to making buildings resilient and fit for the future๐๏ธ Read more: yorksandhumberclimate.org.uk/news/news/co...
Especially daft when several of those companies are back in public ownership.

Today we are in #Bradford celebrating the multitude of individuals, communities & organisations who are driving positive change across Y&H.
At this yearโs gathering, we're delighted to be joined by other climate groups & commissions โ to connect with each other and build on our shared ambitions.
Those changes could be made quickly with some clear direction from the top. Double benefit of more homes being built and more affordable too.
There is so much opportunity to streamline the application process and multi-layered approvals needed in the current Planning system, especially for smaller sites and sites where 100% affordable housing is being delivered by Housing Associations with grant. 1/2
Absolutely!
"the easiest way of reaching all the people your messaging is intended for" - given all the algorithms, isn't that a huge assumption? (Their's, rather than your's). Is their audience on X? Are their messages getting through and not being drowned out by the dross?
I submitted a planning application for a new housing scheme with car free streets between homes and separate parking courts. Highways told us it didn't meet their "design standards" and we were told it would be rejected. We now have a scheme with a road in front of every home... ๐
On the one hand, we have research which shows children need safe, welcoming streets for play - and on the other, research which shows the deadly risk posed to children by SUVs.
Politicians and policymakers need to join the dots.

Individuals and families living in supported housing rely on these services to help keep their independence, regain their confidence and feel safe, happy, and secure. #StartsAtHome
Why would you take the plane when a train goes that fast? You arrive directly in the city center, and there's no hour long security check.
Please @ec.europa.eu tax kerosene and use the money to lower the price of rail.
Scroll your phone and youโll see a London of fear and decline.
Walk its streets and youโll find a city where difference is a strength and communities look out for one another.
The reality will outlast the fiction.
Community-led and not-for-profit.

@connecthousing.bsky.social
Thanks for the reply and the link. That's a shame. Perhaps @pmsmith.bsky.social can provide access. @housingtoday.bsky.social comes as part of your @cihhousing.bsky.social membership. Maybe they can organise you to get a login (given your the minister, and all...)
In my 20+ years experience developing as a small housing association housebuilder, @pmsmith.bsky.social analysis here is spot on. www.housingtoday.co.uk/comment/gove...
Layer upon layer of requirements hike up the cost and risk => fewer homes being built. @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social please note
Hi. Just completed your form. Can you amend to include Yorkshire and the Humber as a region in its own right please? Feeling a bit marginalised!?! ๐

Good coverage of what we all know needs to be done to start chipping away at the housing crisis. But to be clear the ยฃ11.5bn for 90,000 homes is the public subsidy. Housing Associations will invest at least as much as that on top to deliver all those new homes.
Bravo!
And here are some pictures to record the visit to Lily Close in Halifax with @katedeardenmp.bsky.social last week. The weather that afternoon was lovely which helped show off the new homes and their beautiful Pennine surroundings! @connecthousing.bsky.social #ukhousing
Enjoyed showing off @connecthousing.bsky.social new zero-carbon affordable homes in Halifax to @katedeardenmp.bsky.social this afternoon. Talked heat pumps, air tightness, MVHR, PV panels & accessibility, but also impressed with the build quality and spacious houses. Photos to follow... #ukhousing
Absolutely Andrew. And we at @connecthousing.bsky.social are delighted to be working with Calder Valley CLT on this and other projects.
Something we just โค๏ธ to see ๐ฟ
Hi Barbara. The details of how the scheme works are here www.westyorks-ca.gov.uk/growing-the-...
The current scheme is closed I believe, but I'm encouraging WYCA to run more rounds so that more people can join in.
