  • Focus on Glasgow (UK): Report of a peer visit

    By Euan McGlynn

    After two years of online video calls and back and forth emailing in the wake of the pandemic, Glasgow welcomed representatives from across the nine ROOF cities for a peer learning visit. On the 14th and 15th March, Glasgow set out to share with our visitors how the city is working to end homelessness across the city now, the practices we have in place to prevent homelessness as well as sharing our plan to eradicate homelessness from society. Being able to host this event in person was of huge benefit, as it was important to us not just to explain the how the actions already in place are having an impact, but to speak to those at the heart of the issue in Glasgow. This ability to connect just cannot be replicated through online communication and sets us up well for the final event in Ghent in May.

  • Our Balbriggan Hackathon

    The Our Balbriggan Hackathon took place in October 2021. The initial concept for the Hackathon was to hold a one day event “The changing face of Balbriggan” Hackathon. As the plans developed further and given the fact Balbriggan is the youngest town in Ireland, we decided it would be beneficial to also develop a Hackathon specifically for students in local schools. And so, the Our Balbriggan Hackathon combined 2 parts, one all day hybrid event and a schools Hackathon event.
