Involving homeless people in the best solutions

Groundswell is the UK’s leading client involvement and self-help organisation working in the field of homelessness.

  We believe:

• Homeless people need to be part of the solution! The only way to genuinely tackle homelessness is to utilise the knowledge and experience of homeless people themselves

• There is no them – only us! Groundswell brings everyone together including policy makers, managers, frontline staff and homeless people to create effective solutions to homelessness

• Involvement works! When everyone is meaningfully involved, not only does this create more effective services but the process also helps people regain their independence

• The whole community benefits when we reduce homelessness

Our directory enables homeless people’s self-help and service user groups to contact and learn from each other, and be involved in creating practical solutions to their problems.
