This campaign aims to build a growing chorus of champions to ensure that, as part of aiming to end homelessness for good, we use this opportunity to understand how to end it effectively, through evidence-led change.

When the pandemic hit, emergency measures were brought in across the UK to house people experiencing and at risk of homelessness. But what comes next? Will we build on the successes and innovations of the pandemic? Or will we revert to business as usual? These are the questions Glasgow Impact Forum 2022 explored.
Impact Forum 2021 was a week-long series of live, online events, exploring what resilience means to individuals and organisations working in homelessness and related fields, and how we can build it into our systems to support an evidence-led end to homelessness.
Over five weeks in July and August, we created a space to meet, explore ideas, learn new skills, and to build a shared sense of what we ought to achieve in homelessness over these coming months and years.
