Excellent session SFHA #sfha24 with ALASTAIR CAMPBELL, expertly chaired by Andy Maciver. Alastair has some really interesting reflections on how to get housing further up the political agenda: and on why politicians shouldn’t be robots!

A really thought-provoking session: thanks to all our panellists Eildon Housing, Maryhill Housing, Osprey, KWAJO- Social Issues Campaigner and Living Rent. Very keen to hear what members thought of our first ever Red Table session: should we do it again?

Very much looking forward to this evening’s Holyrood Sources debate on Scotland’s economy. Also, very jealous of the branded cushions: I may invest in some for SFHA 😁

Sensible debate and indeed unexpected outbreaks of consensus between Willie Rennie, Kate Forbes MSP, Murdo Fraser & Michael Marra MSP on growing Scotland’s economy: an aim to which housing associations have much to contribute. More of this grown-up political chat, please!

Our joint action plan shows a route out of Scotland's desperate housing emergency. We're giving government the solutions: we hope they will act. sfha.co.uk/mediaLibrary/o…

A really interesting day hearing about the housing situation in Dundee, and catching up with the brilliant SFHA members who operate in and around the city.

Really proud of SFHA's Operation Social Vote campaign. People living in social homes are less likely to vote, but their voice deserves to be heard. Thanks Scottish Housing News for picking up the story. scottishhousingnews.com/articles/housi…

Thanks to the The Times and The Sunday Times for sending us this gorgeous award! A brilliant reflection on the whole amazing SFHA team, who make this a great place to work.

Spent a lovely afternoon helping EastKilbrideHA celebrate their 30th anniversary at the launch of their Murray Court development, providing briliant new homes for the community. Also excellent ribbon-cutting skills from Linda Fabiani!

.Sally Thomas and I met First Minister yesterday, along with SFHA members, to talk about how we can deliver the social homes Scotland desperately needs. We appreciated the FM's time and genuine interest, and hope we can make good progress.

Really enjoyed my morning with Parkhead HA, hearing about their brilliant work and big plans. Thanks so much for inviting me.

On the way to #SNP24, looking forward to SFHA's fringe with Shelter Scotland, Paul McLennan - MSP for East Lothian, Alison Watson and Cllr Allan Casey, on ways to address the housing emergency. DM me if you're attending and want a chat about the issues facing housing associations.

Great turnout for our SFHA fringe at #SNP24 with Shelter Scotland. Still a few seats- and lunches - left if you’re here!

Thanks Vanessa Taaffe for speaking to me about SFHA's take on the #pfg, which contained welcome warm words but no game-changers on social housing.

Heading off to SFHA Governance conference today, looking forward to chatting to lots of members and learning from all our speakers. Please say hi if you're there! #sfhaevents

Very pleased to meet @Liam4Orkney this morning with Orkney Housing Assoc staff to discuss social housing both locally and nationally.

Looking forward to learning lots at today’s #sfharisk24 conference event: our very own Louise Moules is getting us underway.

Huge thanks to Graham for sharing his story with STV News: our members are reporting lengthy waiting lists for house adaptations, which means people are stuck in hospital unnecessarily. We need to see this addressed in the Scottish budget.

Looking forward to a great #techousing24 event today: so much interesting work going on in technology and care in housing.
