First David Attenborough now Michael Wood, historian and broadcaster, appeals to the public to save #BurlingtonHouse youtu.be/O7UnBHHghGI. Please RT if you think that the government should not be threatening the existence of Britain's great learned societies so disgracefully.

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.

.@AlunCairns highlights how the Societies work “it’s part of our heritage… The benefit is gained from so many of us across the UK but their prominence of their location really matters”. #BurlingtonHouse

.@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.
