Kerslake Fellowship Launch Event

The late Lord Kerslake was a lifelong advocate for social justice and worked tirelessly in his career and retirement to promote access to secure, affordable housing for all. At the time of his untimely passing, he was Chair of the New Economics Foundation (NEF), the Peabody Trust and the Kerslake Commission on Homelessness and Rough Sleeping hosted by St Mungo’s. These three organisations have come together to honour Bob by creating a Kerslake Fellowship to work on improving outcomes in housing and homelessness, especially for social and supported housing. Employed at NEF for a two-year contract initially, this role will help develop policy and practice capable of delivering the shifts in housing and homelessness policy that will result in genuinely affordable, high quality and secure homes for all.
