NHS Rooms
COLLEAGUES! THE HOUSING HUB NEEDS MORE “NHS ROOMS” HOSTS!
At a time when household bills keep going up (and maybe the car needs an upgrade?), perhaps your spare room is overdue a clear out! Why not re-purpose it back to what it was meant for, and in doing so, help an NHS colleague out. The extra income from renting out your room could make a big difference (tax-free, by the way**).
Shorter and longer term stays are needed, so you can opt for whatever suits you best. Maybe you are an “empty nester” but would like to retain the room for your (former) kids to come home at Christmas and Easter? We particularly need rooms within a 30-minute bus ride of major hospitals throughout Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, including Portsmouth (QA), Southampton (SGH), Winchester, Basingstoke and Newport (IoW). Get in touch to find out more by requesting our FAQ’s. Email: iownt.housing-hub@nhs.net today.
If you need a place to live, and like the idea of staying with a colleague, please drop us a line! Over 1600 NHS staff have registered with the Housing Hub since 2022.
**Up to £7500 per annum under the government “Rent a Room” scheme – see the government website for details.
Menopause Meet-Ups (Online)
A virtual meet-up to provide a safe space to talk about menopause. Menopause Meet-ups are for everyone, whether you are experiencing the menopause yourself or supporting someone who is, because menopause matters.
There is no set agenda, just an opportunity to share experiences and support each other over a virtual cuppa.
Our next session will be held on Thursday, 21st August 2025.
We hope to see you there!
