Two days of inspiration, challenge and learning for leaders working to end homelessness.

This year’s Leadership Summit will bring together CEOs and senior leaders from across homelessness and supported housing for two days of inspiration, challenge and learning.

With Andy Burnham leading an urgent national drive to end rough sleeping and committing to a housing first philosophy, we believe this is a seminal moment in our collective efforts to turn the tide on homelessness. The sector has rarely had a greater opportunity to influence change and improve outcomes for people experiencing homelessness.

Yet opportunity alone is not enough. After years of rising demand, stretched resources and unmet promises, the Summit will explore what it means to lead in this moment. How can we seize this opportunity, shape the agenda, and use our collective influence, assets and expertise to drive lasting progress towards ending homelessness?

Day 1: Owning the Challenge

The first day will focus on the bigger picture, exploring the challenges and opportunities facing our sector and the role leaders must play in shaping its future.

We'll ask difficult questions, challenge assumptions and explore what it will really take to end homelessness.

Day 2: Delivering the Change

Inspired by the new perspectives from day 1, we'll turn our focus to action.

Through focused masterclasses, delegates will leave with new ideas, practical tools and approaches they can take back to their organisations.

Why Attend?

The Leadership Summit offers a rare opportunity to step away from the pressures of day-to-day leadership and spend time thinking strategically about the future.

You'll have the chance to:

Hear from inspiring speakers from within and beyond the homelessness sector

Learn from fellow CEOs and senior leaders

Share challenges and solutions in a trusted environment

Build valuable professional relationships and networks

Leave with practical ideas and tools to apply within your organisation

Held under the Chatham House Rule, the Summit provides a safe space for open discussion, honest reflection and meaningful peer learning.

What Previous Attendees Said

Energising and hopeful sessions from the keynotes – just what was needed at a time like now.""I very much valued the opportunity to network and to hear from other leaders in the sessions and share experiences which I have had myself and seemed common to many of us who attended.""I have thoroughly enjoyed the whole aspect of the conference. I have learnt a lot, left with a head of lots of ideas. Most of all I met new people who all shared the same passion within the homelessness sector."Who Should Attend?
