The future of housing and changing housing needs in North East Scotland will be discussed at the inaugural Bill Chapman Housing Horizons Lecture, hosted and organised by Osprey Housing Group, tonight, Wednesday 6^th November, at Holiday Inn, Westhill. The lecture is part of Osprey’s 20^th anniversary celebrations.

The housing market in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is under pressure. The combined pressures of a sustained economic downturn, a reduction in new build developments, an aging population and the struggles younger people face to secure affordable quality accommodation mean that housing associations have an essential role to play as we enter the 2020s and beyond.

Sally Thomas, CEO of the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, will deliver the first ever Bill Chapman Housing Horizons Lecture at the Holiday Inn, Westhill on Wednesday.

Her speech will cover the future of housing in Scotland, with an emphasis on tenants, communities and the role of housing associations in the city, shire and nationally. She will discuss the value and importance of housing associations, highlighting their social economic impact, contribution to health and wellbeing and their role in helping to build sustainable successful communities. Sally will also discuss the need for housing associations to cater for a widening tenant demographic, including those with additional support needs, as well as the need to provide high quality, energy efficient, affordable homes.

The keynote speech will be followed by a Q & A panel session chaired by Osprey Housing Group CEO Glenn Adcook.

One of Osprey Housing’s longest-serving board members has stepped down after nearly 20 years’ service.

Bill Chapman - board chair for the past three years — became a tenant of Osprey forerunner Aberdeenshire Housing Partnership tenant in 2000. He joined the AHP board in March 2002 and immediately helped drive the organisation in a direction that recognised the importance of listening to, engaging with, and being responsive to tenants’ needs.

Vice-chair Mike Scott paid tribute to Mr Chapman, who stepped down at Osprey’s annual general meeting on 25 September. He said: ‘Bill has been a truly pivotal figure for the association.

‘His passion and commitment to Osprey, and to our tenants, has been inspirational. As chair he has demonstrated excellent leadership qualities and overall has played a hugely effective and influential role.

‘He has been very much at the heart of everything the Osprey Group has achieved to date and has helped steer us to the excellent position we are now in.’

Mr Chapman has also been actively involved in the wider tenant movement where his commitment has earned the respect of national agencies in Scotland and beyond.

His drive and enthusiasm contributed to the creation of North East Tenants, Residents and Landlords Together (NETRLT), an award-winning partnership of tenants, residents and landlords working together for mutual benefit.

Mr Chapman has been on the board of the Tenant Participation Advisory Service (TPAS), was a previous tenant assessor with the Scottish Housing Regulator and has continued to work alongside the regulator as a member of their Regional Network Tenant Liaison Group. He also served on the Scottish Social Housing Charter Sounding Board formulating the Charter, which came into effect in 2012.

Osprey CEO Glenn Adcook said: ‘It has been an absolute privilege to work with Bill. He has been steadfast and selfless in his approach to championing tenants’ interests, improving social housing standards and continually seeking to improve Osprey as an organisation.

‘We are sad to see him step down but recognise he has his wife, family, and his own health to consider and we wish him the very best.’
