Groundswell exists to enable homeless and vulnerable people to take more control of their lives, have a greater influence on services and to play a full role in the community. 

Lived experience of homelessness and using services brings with it a unique insight. It is essential that society utilises this if we are to tackle homelessness effectively.

Their work includes the Health First approach to tackling homeless health inequalities.  This includes award winning Homeless Health Peer Advocacy service which supports homeless people to address their health needs and Insight and Action Programme which takes a radical grassroots approach to uncovering the issues faced by homeless people and crucially, develops achievable solutions.

Please get in touch if you would like to find out more about their work.
