2024 was an exciting year for Homeshare International, but also included some significant changes. Here are 10 key moments from the year:
1. Homeshare International celebrated its 25thAnniversary in 2024. The charity was set up in 1999 by Nan Maitland, and her extraordinary contribution to homeshare was recognised in the Nan Maitland Memorial Lecture given by Elizabeth Mills at our Congress in September.
2. Our first Congress since 2019 was held in Trento, Italy, and hosted in partnership with Core member VIVO.CON. With speakers from across Europe, the UK, the US, Canada and Australia, the Congress provided wonderful opportunities to meet, learn from and be inspired by other homeshare providers.
3. 2024 saw changes to the structure of the Homeshare International Network (HIN), with homeshare programmes and national umbrella organisations becoming our Core Membership. Over the course of the year we welcomed new Core Members from the US, Canada, Portugal and the Netherlands.
