Home means something, something significant, to all of us.

This episode is different and a bit special. It is the first of a two part series focusing on the Museum of the Home. You will hear all about the Museum itself, the Behind the Door campaign supporting London's homeless women and families and the Yard Sale that the Museum is holding on 12 March to raise both funds and awareness.

The episode was recorded in the beautiful Plain English kitchen at the Museum in amongst the hustle and bustle of London life which was really wonderful. And as if that wasn’t enough, I co-hosted the episode with Twig Hutchinson. Twig is an art director and brand consultant and, importantly for this episode, a committee member of this great event. She was once a guest on the podcast and we had a great chat so I am very excited to have her back on ‘this’ side of the mic.

Twig and I interview a creative and insightful cluster of guests on the topic of home and homelessness. We have Lucy Littlewood from the Museum of the Home who shares her role at the museum and more about the Behind the Doors campaign. We are then joined by Viv Askeland who generously shares her own story of homelessness, explains the issue of hidden homelessness and her involvement with the project. And finally, Jermaine Gallacher who is a design dealer, interior designer, designer and columnist. He is going to be one of the stallholders on the day and he has some excellent advice and a refreshing outlook when it comes to design and to the hunt for treasures at the Yard Sale.

The Museum and its Behind the Door campaign are such great causes so I do hope that you will come to the Yard Sale, bid in the auction and please do share this with your friends.
