As a not-for-profit housing association, we work with residents to help them live their lives to the full. From inclusive communities to opportunities to grow, and support when it's needed. We work closely with partners and stakeholders to bring together different views, skills and ideas. So we can deliver what really matters to our residents.
We have 108,000 homes and 220,000 residents across London and the Home Counties. We also provide care and support services for around 26,275 customers.

Guest Speaker
Sandra Roycroft-Davis, founder of ThinkingSlimmer.com, is a Harley Street behavioural change specialist. Thinking Slimmer is a world leader in the use of unconscious persuasion to help people change their lifestyle and lose weight. Sandra qualified as a cognitive hypnotherapist at the Quest Institute and is an NLP Master Practitioner. She has spent years studying the psychology of eating and weight control and has lectured to American university students and recently spoke at a weight loss seminar in the House of Commons.
Thinking Slimmer is an official national partner of Change4Life, the Department of Health's lifestyle and wellbeing campaign, and is the first company in the world to commission independent clinical trials into the effectiveness of voice recordings using unconscious persuasion to help people lose weight. Significantly: 95% of people lost weight in the Slimpod clinical trials. On average each one lost 9.5 lbs. The biggest loss was 22 lbs.
After dedicating two years to intense study and hands-on work in behavioural therapy on Harley Street, Sandra identified a glaring gap in the weight management industry. Recognising the limitations of traditional dieting methods and their emotional toll, she was inspired to create something revolutionary. The Slimpod Programme was born out of a need for a more humane, effective, and psychologically sound approach to weight loss and well-being. The program offers a holistic solution to health improvement by utilising evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). To date, the programme has empowered over 200,000 individuals across 40 countries, and counting, giving them the tools they need to transform their relationship with food. The programme has been medically endorsed and is highly rated on Trustpilot, affirming its efficacy and impact. Sandra has achieved extensive press and media coverage for the Slimprod Programme including: ITV News, Times, Telegraph, Mail, Mirror and Sun.
Business Pitches
Will Hicks & Louise Thomas - Air Aware Labs
Pollution is responsible for 8 million deaths annually and costs the global economy $8 trillion. Invisible particles in polluted air penetrate deep into our lungs, heart, blood, and brain. It causes respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and reduced athletic performance, and it shortens life expectancy. AirTrack fills the gap in personalised insights to mitigate this significant threat to health and productivity. It is used by over 2800 people worldwide, who have logged over 260,000 activities, giving Air Aware Labs unique insights into pollution exposure and the link to health outcomes.

DataRewire is being built with the vision of becoming a global data hub, starting with the jewellery industry. Jewellery is a $400Bn global market experiencing rapid growth driven by e-commerce, omnichannel retail, and cross-border sales. Yet the industry is constrained by a fundamental problem: product data. Jewellery data is complex: materials, stones, variants, certifications and fragmented across ERPs, inventory systems, marketplaces, and websites. Today, it is largely managed manually and poorly localized for international markets. This results in slow time-to-market, high operational costs, inconsistent listings, and lost international revenue.
DataRewire is an AI-native product data management and distribution platform, purpose-built for jewellery. It cleans, normalizes, enriches, localizes, and distributes product data and digital assets across all sales and operational channels from one centralized system. Despite being pre-launch, DataRewire is in active discussions with industry participants, building a pipeline of early adopters and receiving verbal validation of the need from major ecosystem players such as eBay.
Our differentiation lies in jewellery-specific intelligence, AI-native automation, multilingual capability from day one, and a global-by-design architecture replacing fragmented, manual, and outdated workflows with a scalable data foundation as a single and intelligent source of truth.
