Participants thanked Penny and Jo

"This is really useful information that I can use in my own life and also to help others I know who are vulnerable or in positions to help."

"Thank you both this was extremely insightful and thank you for the important research you are doing - I look forward to reading up on your further work."

"The issues raised are so contemporary and nationally being raised as a movement for change for providing what we really need to close the housing, health and social care equity gap ... Fantastic webinar, thanks speakers and Jess."
