At Lived Insights, we empower people with lived experience of homelessness, poverty, mental health, and the criminal justice system to share their stories. Through conversations, we gather valuable insights that help shape and improve local support services, ensuring they meet the needs of the people who use them. Grants keep us going, but to grow our impact and do better, we need your support.
How Your Donation Makes a Difference
£10
Our pop-up research cafés are safe, welcoming spaces where people with lived experience feel empowered to lead the conversation - not just participate in it. Your donation can provide a hot meal at a pop-up research café which is more than just an offering of food - its connection. It’s sometimes the reason someone will come back.
£20
This donation amount takes our outreach team into local hostels - meeting people where they are, where they feel safe, and breaking down barriers. Your donation helps pay for transport, staff time, important resources, and the expertise needed to make a real difference.
£30
This funds a creative workshop that trains people with lived experience to become ‘Community Reporters’ - helping them build confidence, develop skills, and gain a platform to find work, re-enter employment, and actively support our work. Click here to learn more about Community Reporters.
