About the workshops

The course will be delivered online. You will be required to watch a 30-minute introductory video before each interactive session.

It is important you are able to attend all four sessions as later sessions build upon the knowledge from previous ones.
You do not need to know anything about housing law to apply as these workshops are aimed at people with no formal legal training. The workshops will be delivered in English and accessibility needs can be submitted in the registration form.
We are particularly keen to invite participants who are community volunteers, members of a support group, a grassroots mutual aid organisation, or something similar.
The workshops are free to attend however, spaces are limited. We will prioritise participants from community/grassroot organisations who have not already attended one of our housing courses. Due to limited capacity, we will accept a maximum of two participants per organisation.
