Next General Meeting – March 27th 2021

Our next is scheduled for Saturday 27th March 2021 at 11am via Zoom. Get in touch with us for the login details.

The meeting will be an opportunity to take stock of where we go after our summit, and build on the energy and ideas that emerged.  Please join us.

The size and level of involvement at our Rally & Summit gave a clear indication of people’s huge concerns about housing, especially during these past 12 months of Covid-19.  These include many issues: from the threat of mass evictions to cladding and building safety in the wake of Grenfell, health & wealth inequality
and a government that has failed to offer any long-term solutions during 
and beyond the Covid crisis.

The Mayoral and local elections are looming and we have an opportunity to make housing a key issue. We will be discussing:

Update from workshops & proposed activities over coming weeks
Action around Mayoral/local elections
Steering Group – need more volunteers
Filling the Empties – stay on zoom to join meeting
