St George's House, Windsor Castle

Each year, BSHF organises a three-day consultation at St George's House in Windsor Castle, bringing together leading experts and practitioners to discuss a theme of current housing concern and to identify ways in which possible solutions can be put into place. The recommendations resulting from these deliberations are used to encourage and support practical and realistic change in both policy and practice.

A report is produced following the Consultation which summarises the discussions that took place, illustrates good practice case studies and identifies the key recommendations for action.

St George's House is a small residential consultation centre situated within Windsor Castle itself, adjacent to St George's Chapel. Its origins date back to 1348 when it was established as a place where people of influence and responsibility could come together to explore and develop ideas about possible solutions to the problems of the day.
