🦉 Did you know… in 1976 we changed our logo to remove the iconic minerva owl as insight showed it wasn’t resonating with young people?

Our appearance might have changed over the last 86 years, but our purpose hasn’t 💙

Read it here: www.engender.org.uk/holyrood-2026/

We welcome @engenderscot.bsky.social's manifesto, in which they seek to fix Scotland's broken and biased housing system to ensure all women have access to a safe, secure and affordable home. #HousingEmergency

A photograph of Innocent in his wheelchair, outside his accessible social housing flat, with a quote from him saying "It was such a big relief, knowing that finally, I will now live a life which is very different from the one I lived before."

Social housing is a lifeline. For many, it can mean the difference between a life of stress and worry, or one with hope and optimism.

This is why Scotland needs more social housing, because everyone deserves a safe, secure and affordable place to call home. #HousingEmergency
