In July Pilgrims’ Friend Society’s assisted
living complex in Evington, Leicester, won
the ‘Housing our Ageing Population Panel
for Innovation’ (HAPPI) award.
Just 13 out of 151 entries were chosen
across various categories as winners of an
award – and Pilgrim Gardens in Evington
came first! Pilgrims’ Friend Society (PFS) has
been asked if the government Housing &
Communities Agency can make a site visit,
with 20 attendees, as a learning exercise for
their Vulnerable and Older Persons Housing
Agenda (VOPAG).

Proposals to allow three-parent babies will
be pushed
forward by
the government,
despite more than 60% of people opposing

in
a
consultation,
it was
announced on July 22, as the responses to a
12-week government consultation were
released.
Figures showed that, of 1,857 responses,
1,152 opposed
the
idea of
three-parent
babies, while 700
‘expressed general support’. The remainder did not come down on
either side.
