Whitehall and Westminster Day

How many people get to say that in their first year of working in the social housing sector they sat across the table from some of the most influential people in politics, inside Westminster? Well this year there’ll be 33 to add to that number. One of the most unique experiences offered by the GEM programme is a visit to Whitehall and Westminster. This has been running for the past 4 years with the help of John Healy MP. GEMs have the opportunity to question and debate senior politicians, senior housing leaders, civil servants and senior lobbyists from group such as Generation Rent, Shelter and the National Housing Federation.
