We campaign for change to raise awareness of homelessness, what it looks like, what causes it and how to overcome it.
Shining a light on homelessness
Through Voice of Hope, we aim to change the way people think about homelessness. It’s about going beyond the statistics to tell stories about real people and the challenges they face.
We aim to tackle the misconceptions, and show that homelessness is often caused by systemic issues like the cost-of-living crisis, a lack of affordable housing, and insufficient support services.
By sharing human stories, Voice of Hope puts a spotlight on the reality of homelessness. It’s a call to action for communities, policymakers, and anyone who believes everyone deserves a place to call home.
People have a perception of what homelessness looks like that is a world away from the reality we see. Voice of Hope is about changing the narrative, and showing that lives can transform if they have the right support.
Bethan Bishop, Programme & Policy Manager
Voice of Hope is about driving action. We want to influence policymakers to make homelessness a top priority. Whether it’s pushing for more funding for affordable housing or improving access to mental health support, we're aiming to create a better future.
