Road to Home

Road To Home is an initiative set up between the University of Glasgow and the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE) to explore the issue of homelessness in Glasgow and how we can make a valuable contribution to help end homelessness in this city. Our aims are to support professionals already working in the sector through education, research and volunteering opportunities. Through this initiative, the university will share valuable research and knowledge from people working on the front line and give a voice to those who have lived experience of being homeless. The initiative will become a hub of volunteering opportunities that exist across the university and highlight the important contributions our community already make to the cause. Road To Home will empower professionals in the sector by our development of professional qualifications and courses to strengthen knowledge and bolster confidence in delivering excellent service to people who need support. Throughout the lifetime of this initiative there will be a programme of events exploring the topic of homelessness and questions why this still exists in a city with adequate resources to address the issue. Through conversation we hope to engage our community and collectively find a way to add value to the work being done in this sector.
