In the 25 years since devolution, what has helped and hindered progress with homelessness in Scotland, and what’s needed to create the conditions for significant, lasting change?
Join us in-person or online for "Ending Homelessness: Progress made, checked and still to come" taking place at Robertson House (152 Bath Street, Glasgow) from 12.15pm - 1.45pm on Tuesday, 7th May.
The roundtable event aims to amplify diverse reflections on homelessness trends in Scotland in the 25 years since devolution, including where progress has been made, where it has stalled and what’s needed to get back on track. Most importantly, we hope to use these reflections to illuminate common ground on what’s needed to create the conditions for significant, lasting change.
We will be joined on the day by three guest speakers:
· Margaret-Ann Brünjes, Chief Executive of Homeless Network Scotland.
· Aileen Campbell, Chief Executive of Scottish Women's Football. Former Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Local Government.
· Suzanne Fitzpatrick, Professor of Housing and Social Policy in the Institute for Social Policy, Housing and Equalities (I-SPHERE), Heriot-Watt University
The event is the first in a series we are hosting to mark 25 years of Scottish Devolution. Each will focus on trends in poverty and trauma through the lens of our four priority themes – Emotional Wellbeing and Relationships, Work Pathways, Education Pathways and, in the case of this event, Financial Security.
