Housing for Good event: In photos

Posted on: 2 October, 2019

This article may refer to the University College of Estate Management (UCEM) which became University of the Built Environment in June 2025.

We took to Reading Town Hall for our centenary Housing for Good event in aid of our charity partner, Launchpad, last month. We were joined by four influential speakers from industry and politics who gave passionate presentations on ways to solve the housing crisis, as well as Launchpad’s Corporate Partnerships Manager, Jason McMahon, who made a plea for the attendees to support the charity’s latest project.

Here’s the story of the evening in photos…
