Raise the Roof is a campaign to get a fair deal from the Treasury for people who choose to rent out a room in their home. Since 1997 (i.e. under the current government) no change has been made to the income threshold of the Rent a Room Scheme - the threshold at present is £4,250 a year; the campaign would like to see this rise to £9,000 a year.

This year’s English UK ELT Management Conference on 5^th and 6^th March in Reading will feature the very best in innovation in the ELT industry after it was announced that this year’s programme would include a series of sessions led by ELTon Award nominees from both the UK and International categories.

Further to yesterday’s announcement by Alan Johnson, Home Secretary, on the new rules for International Students, a group entitled "Save Our Language Schools" has been set up on Facebook by Susan Young, Communications Consultant for English UK.

We hope that members will join and encourage teachers and homestay families and all their contacts to join.
