Community Housing Cymru Conference
2026-07-02 08:00 - 17:00 UTC
The Senedd Election will set a new horizon for Wales, and as a sector we will be standing at the threshold of a defining chapter.
We have a key part to play in ending the housing crisis, but we can’t do it alone. Our true strength lies in the power of “we”.
Our ambition is clear: more homes, better homes and fairer places. But we know the next four years will demand commitment, collaboration and resilience as we move from high-level vision to practical action.
At this year’s One Big conference, we will celebrate the powerful partnerships that already exist across the sector and explore the opportunities that radical collaboration and deep-rooted partnerships create to ensure that our shared legacy is a Wales where there are homes for every future.
