Beyond Innovation Event: Housing and Homelessness in Liverpool City Region
VS6 would like you to join them to start a conversation about housing and homelessness in the Liverpool City Region. They want to explore the role of the local VCFSE sector in future models of delivery and hear from you to enable them to contribute effectively to policy and plans for the LCR going forward. Justin Hill, Chief Executive of YMCA St Helens will co-host the session.
There will be an opportunity for interaction and sharing your insights into the future of housing and homelessness strategy and services.
