We play a role in facilitating solutions to some of the biggest challenges — climate change to biodiversity loss. A move away from Burlington House will threaten the availability of these activities for research, discovery & debate. Support us: ow.ly/2jXV50F2vaF

“Since 2019, rent has gone up 39% even when financial situation has weakened everywhere due to the pandemic.” @timloughton explains how rapidly increasing rent has already impacted the Societies’ ability to plan for the future. A sustainable, long-term solution needs to be found.

.@JGray – the building and learned societies are intertwined with each other. In today's debate he states that finding a way of making a way for the learned societies remain at the #BurlingtonHouse should be high-up on the government’s agenda.
