In Partnership with Places for People and Hallam Land
Sunday 27 September 2026
20:00 – 23:00
The Fabian Housing Centre is a major research and policy programme focused on developing progressive and ambitious evidence-based policy aimed at making the UK a great place to live. To do so, the Centre is working in collaboration with key housing stakeholders, policymakers and those affected by the housing crisis.
The Great Places to Live Reception will bring together a broad coalition of organisations from across the housing sector for one of the most significant housing networking events at Labour Party Conference. Bringing together parliamentarians, local government leaders, housing providers, developers, investors, campaigners, policy experts and practitioners, the reception will provide an opportunity to discuss the future of housing policy under a Labour government and the role the sector can play in delivering safe, affordable and sustainable homes.
