Cancellation notice

It is with regret we have taken the decision to cancel the Homes for Cathy Annual Conference which was due to take place on 23 March 2020 at the Congress Centre, London. With rising concerns regarding Covid-19 we have a duty of care to our delegates, speakers, exhibitors and staff. We are mindful that a growing number of organisations have advised against non-essential travel and with the latest government advice being to avoid ‘mass’ gatherings, we have felt it necessary to make this decision.
Delegates who have purchased passes will be issued a refund in line with our terms and conditions.

Thank you for your patience and understanding at this unprecedented time. Should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us on conferences@oceanmedia.co.uk.

About Homes for Cathy

Inside Housing are pleased to join forces with Homes for Cathy to deliver the 3rd edition of the Homes for Cathy Annual Conference.

Uniting leaders and practitioners from Housing Associations, Local Authorities and Charities to share real examples of the work being done to end homelessness, the event provides a platform for informed debate and discussion, examination and exploration around the good practices being utilised in the sector.
The conference is where people come together to discuss, learn good practice, share lessons learned and to forge networks.

Homes for Cathy is a group of housing associations that were formed in the Cathy Come Home era, that came together in 2016 to mark the 50th anniversary of Cathy Come Home and to highlight the continuing needs of homeless people. The Homes for Cathy group has been organising a range of local and national events over the last two years, with the aim of raising awareness of the needs of the homeless and working on strategies to end homelessness.

Any surplus from the conference will go to the Homes for Cathy group to support their work bringing together housing associations homelessness charities and local authorities to end homelessness.
