The aim of the Good Homes Alliance Vanguard Campaign is to encourage and support local authorities, housing associations and developers to adopt enhanced sustainability standards for new homes and to help them respond to Climate Emergency declarations.
Over the last two years, over 200 delegates have attended campaign events across the UK and a new Local Authority Vanguard network has been launched to share learning and best practice between like-minded organisations.
This afternoon seminar is the first to be held in Wales and provides the opportunity for attendees to hear from industry colleagues about their experiences of delivering to higher standards, to raise questions and to network with an invited audience. Chaired by Lynne Sullivan OBE the event aims to draw further insights from the Welsh context from speakers and via interaction with delegates.
