CEO Thought leadership with Annika Joy, Safe in Scotland
Our CEO Thought Leadership sessions are exclusively for SFHA members and invitations are reserved for the CEO of each member organisation.
Annika Joy, Chief Executive of Safe in Scotland
6 October, 19:00 – 20:00
Hosted by SFHA Chief Executive Sally Thomas, our Thought Leadership Series offers CEOs and directors from our membership the opportunity to hear from thought leaders on a wide variety of issues. These events also provide an opportunity to share knowledge, inspiration and ambition among our senior network.
Our upcoming session, on 6 October, will hear from Annika Joy, Chief Executive of Safe in Scotland (formerly Glasgow Night Shelter for Destitute Asylum Seekers), a human rights charity that develops and delivers safe, dignified accommodation and trauma-informed support for people experiencing asylum-related destitution. She is also an active voice in advocating for the policy and legislative changes that would mean the organisation is no longer required.
Annika will be talking about the role housing associations can play in providing a safe place to stay for destitute people with no recourse to public funds.
Secure your place:
Join Annika to hear about the pilot joint Housing Association and charity partnership to ensure that asylum seekers in Scotland aren't forced into rough sleeping and other forms of homelessness, and let us pick your brains about what other sorts of collaboration might be possible.
Invitations are reserved for the CEO of each member organisation. Please visit the SFHA Live! section of our website to book your place.
