Join us for an important discussion on equality and diversity in the housing sector in the North East of England. This event will bring together senior leaders to explore the key challenges and opportunities in creating truly inclusive housing services. With expert speakers, insightful discussions, and opportunities to share best practices, this is a chance to engage with the issues that matter most—ensuring fair access to housing, tackling discrimination, and fostering diverse leadership within the sector.

This roundtable offers a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and collaborate. We'll examine how an organisation has responded to the Far Right and Islamophobic riots, discuss the latest policy developments, and explore practical steps for making a lasting impact. Don't miss this chance to be part of the conversation and help shape a more equitable future for housing in the North East.
