Our Special Guest this week is Robert Rinder, barrister, host of the ITV series Judge Rinder & newly appointed Legal Services Ambassador for Shelter. Robert will be talking with us about how the planning system can address the housing crisis.

As before, there is no charge for the event, but we would encourage you to make a modest donation to a charity of your choice. As always we support the NHS Combined Charity Page but in view of our theme this week you may wish to consider a donation to Shelter.
