Meet the policy and communications team

To influence change we must make a compelling case to policy makers at all levels, drawing together the strongest evidence, and identifying solutions that prevent homelessness. We are committed to raising awareness, changing perceptions and empowering people to act when it comes to ending homelessness.

We work across national and local government to influence the development of policy, strategy and investment. We conduct research to better understand homelessness and how we can address it. We manage and provide information to help people access the right help when they need it. We promote the good work being done on the frontline, raise awareness of important issues affecting the sector, and campaign for improvements to the support available to those experiencing homelessness.
