Stonewater is hosting a symposium exploring Domestic Abuse, Diversity and Housing on Wednesday the 25th of March.

This event is for people who share our passion to come together to explore how we can better support those affected by domestic abuse in our communities. As we know domestic abuse doesn’t discriminate we will be exploring the issues through a diversity lens. We want to hear your thoughts and ideas and to build partnerships that make a difference to people’s lives.

At the seminar, Will Hanford and Daniel Delaney of the National Trust will provide an overview of the charity’s green strategy, after which Stuart Cleak, Anna Phillips and Suzanne Walford, from Foot Anstey’s energy, charities and planning teams will provide an overview of the current energy market and discuss the opportunities this could present for charities. They will also look at particular planning considerations for Listed Buildings and deployment of technologies.
