What we’re about
About Us
Welcome to the Seniors Living Independently Sussex Meetup Group - a design and architecture community focused on exploring how we can live well, independently, and with dignity in our own homes as we grow older.
We believe that home should evolve with us. Our meetups bring together homeowners, families, architects, designers, and anyone interested in creating homes that support comfort, safety, and wellbeing throughout life.
Each month, we’ll dive into new topics on how design, technology, and thoughtful retrofitting can help maintain quality of life for as long as possible - from accessibility and comfort to smart living and community connection.
Our Focus
🌿 Independent Living - How to adapt homes for long-term comfort and accessibility.
🏠 Design for Dignity - Thoughtful architecture that supports ageing gracefully.
💡 Practical Knowledge - Tips, tools, and inspiration for home improvements and renovations.
🤝 Community Learning - Sharing stories, ideas, and experiences across generations.
Goals
To share knowledge about designing homes that evolve with life’s stages.
