Senior leaders from across the UK’s social housing landscape came together for a candid discussion on the sector’s biggest challenges, lessons learned, and priorities for 2026. The expert panel reflected on the key developments of the past year, shared insights from board-level decision-making, and explored what lay ahead for housing associations as they balanced resilience, innovation, and social purpose.
