Living in a home-owning democracy?

August 2023 Getting a roof over our head has become very challenging indeed. It’s not just hard cash, it’s emotional, even painful. Rising interest rates in a cost-of-living crisis has created a perfect storm. Dr Mark Pegg scans the property landscape and argues that with the massive financial stresses involved gaining access to financial advice might just be the most important membership benefit of all.

Sustainability in Football

July 2023 Professional football clubs can have a large impact on the environment. From travelling overseas to play matches, to keeping their home pitch in top condition, football clubs are energy-intensive businesses.

Can we do in four what we used to do in five?

March 2023 Could you deliver the same or more in four days a week instead of five?

To shed more light on this lively debate, Dr Mark Pegg looks at the experience of those who have actually tried it.
