The second episode of Flagship’s podcast is now out on Spotify! Open House is all about shedding light on the issues that affect the housing sector and why those are so important.

This time, host Liv Castle talks about the current and pressing issue of stigma in social housing. Joining her are Dr Mercy Denedo (associate professor in accounting at Durham University), Nic Bliss and Fiona Brown (campaign director and treasurer, respectively, at Stop Social Housing Stigma) and Rick Liddiment (head of external affairs at Flagship).

Stigma is a pervasive issue that unfairly casts a shadow on both social housing and its tenants. Listen in for a fantastic discussion on its causes and what we can do to tackle it, with personal and powerful insights from our guests' own experiences.

If you have something you’d like to learn more about that we can include in future episodes, have something you’d like featured on a future episode, or would like to share any feedback, email us at commsteam@flagship-group.co.uk.
