Events in the River Room

The Lord Speaker allows use of the River Room, the principal state room of the House of Lords, for parliamentary and charitable events sponsored by Members.

This gives the opportunity of welcoming many to the Lords who may not otherwise visit.

Baroness Hayman has welcomed River Room events hosted by:

  • the Child Welfare Scheme, a charity working to help children in Nepal
  • World Sight Day
  • Peace Brigades International, a charity working for the non-violent transformation of conflicts
  • the Self Help Association for Rehabilitation and Employment for People with Disabilities
  • UnLtd, a charity supporting social entrepreneurs
