Greater Change - Expert Impact

Jon Tan,

Greater Change

Met with Dan Cobley

Greater Change is a social enterprise providing personalised catalytic financial support to help people experiencing homelessness overcome barriers that trap them in homelessness.

The goal of this novel approach is to unlock key step changes to help people break out of the cycle of homelessness permanently or prevent them from facing the various forms of homelessness in the first place.

They work with trusted partner charities to deliver this package of support that no other statutory service provides; greatly improving the lives of the people we support as well as improving the capacity of existing support services. On average, every person we help, creates a cost savings to the public purse of over £29,000.

“Dan was extremely knowledgeable and with his experience was able to help us quickly hone in on some of the key challenges we were facing. He was also very quickly able to understand the context of our work even though he had not worked in our sector before.”
