Is community-led housing the sustainable answer to tackling Britain’s housing crisis?

Join us for the world premiere of a ground-breaking new film that aims to find out how people power could be the solution to one of the country’s biggest challenges of the 21st century. The screening of the film will be followed by a debate about the issues raised, by a panel of community housing experts and questions from the audience.

‘Britain’s Housing Crisis – A People-Powered Solution?’ has been produced by award-winning TV and radio presenter Peg Alexander and Jon King from leading Bradford-based video production house Envisuals.

Held in partnership with Leeds Community Homes and sponsored by Ecology Building Society, this is your chance to see the first screening of the film, followed by a debate featuring expert panel members:

Steve Hoey, Leeds Community Homes

Emma Ridge, Wrigleys Solicitors

Paul Ellis, CEO of Ecology Building Society

Tom Chance, National Community Land Trust Network

Rose Seagrief, Power to Change

Richard Panter, Homes England

Maria Brenton - UK Cohousing Network

Chaired by Peg Alexander, the discussion is designed to stimulate lively and entertaining debate, as well as getting to the real heart of the issues that we need to address.

Please arrive from 5.00pm when our team will be ready to welcome you - and the film will start at 5.40pm

We are pleased to provide you with a complimentary drink (wine, beer or water) and popcorn at the start of the film, and another drink and some snacks after the discussion when there will also be chance to chat with fellow guests. If you would like to order any other drinks or food then the Everyman Cinema full bar and kitchen is open for your delectation!

We hope you can join us on 11th September and find out more about how this quiet revolution could be about to make a lot more noise…
