As part of our work on promoting a suitable living environment for our ageing population, we’ve partnered with Demos and the Centre for Ageing Better to demonstrate the “Triple Dividend” of having a national home improvement strategy. The first paper looked at the economic benefits. The second, Overcoming the Health and Care Polycrisis, looks at what the health and care benefits of a comprehensive package of home improvement could be. A modest programme – one that would cost around a few hundred million pounds per year – could lead to health benefits of around £6bn a year.
