Monitoring the Impact of Covid-19: Accounts from people experiencing homelessness

Thursday, July 23, 2020 • Duration 13:52

Over the last few months COVID-19 and the response to the pandemic has had a significant impact on people experiencing homelessness. The researchers and mobile reporters have made a podcast exploring peoples experiences so far. Groundswell have been working alongside people experiencing homelessness to ensure their views and experiences are represented and acted on. Our reference group of people with experience of homelessness have been critical in the delivery of this research project. One member of the reference group said:

“Overall, my experience being involved with the COVID reference group has been very good. It has been wonderful being from the grassroots level and being able to feed my thoughts from my own experiences of being homeless and other personal involvement in other ways. It has been facilitated well and everyone involved had something to say which has been taken seriously and in the majority of time, have been implemented to some degree. Overall, I would genuinely give this project a full house of five stars”

We want to ensure the insights from this project are communicated widely and reach a range of people, including people experiencing homelessness, people from the homelessness sector and key decision makers. The reference group have made a podcast to share the insights from the research. The voices of our reference group and some of the Groundswell team feature in this podcast – the stories they share are based on real accounts of people who have participated in our research project so far.

“I really enjoyed taking part in the recording for the podcast. It was fun. It was a bit strange to hear myself in the podcast, but it was interesting. I sounded very different than I would have imagined”
“Taking part in the reference group helped me to stay in contact with others and even meet new people. This made me feel less lonely during lock-down. It allowed me to be involved in something useful and meaningful. It gave me something useful to do. It was empowering being part of the process having my voice heard. I also liked being informed about what was happening. I felt that knowing what was happening helped me to deal with anxiety, as being unsure makes me anxious”

The insights featured illustrate just some of the ways people experiencing homelessness have been impacted and we are working hard to continue to reach people and hear their story.

Coronavirus advice and planning for people experiencing homelessness

Wednesday, April 1, 2020 • Duration 07:30

Working with our volunteers – people who have slept rough and those residing in hostels and temporary accommodation - Groundswell has developed resources to support people experiencing homelessness during the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. People experiencing homelessness are disproportionately affected by poor health and often face challenges accessing the healthcare and support they need. Measures being taken to combat the spread of coronavirus are likely to impact significantly on the lives of people who are homeless.

This podcast features adaptation on the Government's coronavirus guidance, so it is relevant to people who are rough sleeping and people who are living in shared temporary accommodation such as hostels. We have also produced short, printable guides with this guidance that can be found here: https://groundswell.org.uk/coronavirus/.

The Suicide Epidemic

Tuesday, February 4, 2020 • Duration 07:21

The prevalence of suicide amongst the homeless community is disproportionate to that of the general population. As part of the Comic Relief funded 'From the Ground Up' partnership between Groundswell and the Pavement magazine, volunteers with experience of homelessness were trained as peer journalists. They researched different organisations (Samaritans, CALM, #deardistressed, Maytree, Mind, For Professionals, Storm) offering advice and counselling to people who found themselves feeling suicidal.

The Working Homeless

Tuesday, February 4, 2020 • Duration 07:23

Working whilst homeless was something the peer journalists wanted to explore - controversial yet seemingly common necessity for many people experiencing homelessness, despite their difficult circumstances. For most people working while homeless is really tough. But for others having a job, or regular volunteering, can help you stay afloat and integrate you into society. This podcast, created by volunteer peer journalists trained through the Comic Relief funded 'From the Ground Up' partnership between Groundswell and the Pavement magazine, explores the issues and realities of working whilst homeless.
