This series aims to offer insights and experiences that highlight what people experience in their housing journeys, sharing ideas around best practice and starting to identify areas where improvements and better evidence are needed.

The organisations will be having conversations with a range of professionals working both in housing, and with people who bear protected characteristics as noted under the Equalities Act (2010).

For their first conversation proper, Pedro Cameron and Dr Gareth Young talk to chief executive of Housing Options Scotland, Moira Bayne.

With Moira, they discuss the history of the charity, which offers housing advice and information to people with disabilities, older people and members of the Armed Forces across Scotland. Moira shares her thoughts on the power of knowledge, the importance of person-centred services, and the barriers that the groups she works with face in accessing housing.
