In this Social Housing Round Table session, Matt Baird hosts a wide-ranging and reflective discussion with The Social Housing Round Table's Head of Partnerships, Elaine Middleton on the issues shaping social housing as the year draws to a close.

The conversation explores what has stood out across recent Round Table discussions, the pressures facing organisations and leaders, and where there is cautious optimism for the year ahead. Participants reflect on lived experience, sector challenges and the importance of collaboration, honesty and shared learning in navigating ongoing change.

A thoughtful session that captures the mood of the sector and offers space to pause, reflect and look forward.

In this session of the Social Housing Round Table, we welcomed Louise Dawkes and Gregory Robinson from Repair My Home to explore one of the sector’s most persistent questions: should repairs be delivered through large national providers or trusted local contractors?

Across a fast-moving conversation, Louise and Greg broke down what actually happens on the ground, why local trades are often under-utilised, how accreditation and compliance can be strengthened, and how their platform aims to close the gap between housing providers, contractors and residents.

This episode is essential listening for anyone thinking about contractor performance, value for money, tenant satisfaction or the future of sector-wide repairs delivery.
