Community Organising in Housing: From a Shelter Point Of View

This webinar explores community organising and housing and will be led by Hope Barnes, Senior Community Organiser at Shelter.

At Shelter, community organising is at the heart of how they fight the housing emergency. This webinar explores how they work alongside local people to build power, develop leaders, and turn lived experience into collective action that can’t be ignored.

They’ll look at how community organising helps shift local policy, from influencing councils and decision-makers to challenging systems that keep people locked out of safe, secure homes. Drawing on real campaigns and frontline experience, this session will show how organised communities can create lasting change, not just raise awareness.

Whether you’re new to organising or looking to deepen your practise, this webinar will offer practical insight into how people power drives housing justice.
