Hello everybody, this episode is a one-off special last week I was invited down to the Riverhouse

Barn in Waltenon Terms in Surrey to take part in a Q&A all about 1923, the book that I wrote

and published this summer, and it was all a fundraiser for a wonderful charity down in

Waltenon Terms called Red Start to work to prevent homelessness and early interventions

to make sure that people have a roof over their head in that area where it might surprise

you to know that there are some of the biggest inequalities in health and wealth outcomes

in the country, and I think it's particularly apt in the light of the recent interventions

from the home secretary.

Anyway, Andy Robertson interviewed me on stage, I really enjoyed the conversation and

it was a packed out evening in front of a live audience and we chewed the card at all

about 1923 and I think I hope it might be of interest, certainly to those of you who've

read the book, but even if you haven't read the book, I think it might be of interest.

And if you like what you hear, please do go to the link on the show notes and support

Rent Start to put on this event as a fundraiser.

So any donation, however small or big, would be I think enormously important and gratefully

received.

And in the meantime, just enjoy the podcast.

Rent Start is a charity working in the borough of Elmwood Drift people who are facing or

experiencing homelessness.

We house around 140 people a year and we support around 600 people who are in that situation

as well.

So every penny from the ticket south tonight will go towards the work that we are doing.
