Groundswell
National charity creating solutions to end homelessness, that come directly from people who have experienced homelessness.
A Lived Insights founder became a reporter for their Comic Relief funded ‘Listen Up Project’ for three years, reporting back on local issues and reflections from people experiencing homelessness and associated challenges.
Being able to connect up regularly with UK reporters from London, Scotland, Coventry, Manchester this was a brilliant way to share everyone’s valuable insights and peoples perceptions on how to address homelessness and was instrumental in how we collectively formed impactful, powerful articles, media pieces, audio links to a UK wide audience.
Working in this collaborative way taught Lived Insights some valuable learning for our own development in how to inform changes to those that hold the levers of power and influence to begin the reduction of people facing housing crisis, intervention to truly support those facing them.
This opportunity also allowed for personal growth for Miles, re energising his love for writing creatively, bringing creative visual art ideas in, collage, poetry, to demonstrate feelings of desperation for those drowning in the darkness as a pose to dry written content which very few digest in the same way.
An outstanding organisation we’re proud to to have supported in the way we did, and continue to where invited to.
