Volunteering is purpose. Volunteering is empathy.

"I have a lot of understanding and empathy because I’m a former rough sleeper and recovering alcoholic, so I’ve been there, and I understand clients well. I find it very rewarding helping others, plus it helps me in recovery. I have a purpose now.”

For 30 years, we've been supporting people experiencing homelessness to access vital healthcare.

In 1996, people experiencing homelessness were being shut out, ignored and left behind.

A group of people with lived experience came together and refused to be spoken for. They organised, spoke out and demanded change on their own terms.

That became Groundswell. Today, we are still working hard to share the voices of those experiencing homelessness.
