Accessible Homes Week celebrates what an accessible home can do for a person's wellbeing, independence and overall quality of life.

This year, as part of the week (12 - 16 October) we'll share findings from our latest research briefing, The adaptability gap: public perceptions of UK homes in 2026, which will reveal people's:

• experiences of unsuitable housing
• confidence in their current home meeting their future needs
• concerns about adapting their homes
• priorities for future housing
• level of support for policy change.

Join our Executive Director of Influencing and Communications, Christina McGill, and panelists who will be sharing their expertise and lived experience:

• Debra Edwards, Expert by Experience and Co-production Champion
• Brenda Puech, NRAC Consultant and Centre for Accessible Environments Associate Consultant

• Dr Rachel Russell, Housing Occupational Therapist and member of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists
