Member Defence is when members of our union take on our own landlords in exciting confrontation that leads to huge wins. This past year, we've had over ten actions for repairs, disability adaptations, against evictions, and compensation. Our biggest single compensation win this year was £9,000, and we've won millions of pounds worth of repairs. Want to get involved?

Join members for an all day training on Member Defence! This is how we fight against landlords, letting agents, councils, and housing associations who take advantage of tenants or don't live up to their code of practices. We build teams within branches so we can have strong union response when members face eviction, rent hikes, damp, mould, or repairs issues. If you want to learn more or brush up on the principles and practices of member defence, this is your opportunity!

There will be a one hour lunch break. Teas and coffees provided, there's a microwave to heat up pack lunches, and a fridge to keep them cool. Across the road are cafes that serve hot food, and a corner shop. (Acai Bros and Bagels, Mr Hot Potato, Bliss House Cafe)
