Advocacy impact
Using Our Voice to Educate and Make Change In 2024, our team made significant strides in raising awareness for women experiencing homelessness through their speaking engagements. Catherine House staff participated in over 120 public speaking engagements, their voices reaching diverse audiences, highlighting the challenges faced by vulnerable women. These engagements have proven essential in fostering understanding, advocating for change, and empowering communities to take action toward providing support and resources for women in need.
In 2024, Catherine House made a significant impact through lived experience advocacy. 31 clients participated in 88 opportunities to share their stories and highlight the challenges faced by women experiencing homelessness. These advocacy efforts allowed clients to speak about the issues surrounding homelessness while sharing the positive changes in their lives thanks to Catherine House’s support. This work has been essential in raising awareness, informing policy discussions, and demonstrating the power of lived experience in shaping public perception and decision-making. Catherine House staff, alongside clients, have also played a crucial role in educating stakeholders on the systemic issues of homelessness, including participating in forums like the Lord Mayor Round Table. This advocacy work is an integral part of our organsation, with Case Workers dedicating 60-70% of their time to advocacy efforts.
