Learn about ‘what works’ at our events
Explore our upcoming and past events that unite experts, people with lived experience, and practitioners in our shared mission to end homelessness. At these events we look at the latest research and innovative ideas, and exchange insights and experiences that can inspire positive change.
We hold regular events throughout the year that support our ongoing work, and we invite you to join these gatherings or watch the recordings on this page to find out what was discussed at previous events.
