CEO
Michael has over 20 years’ experience working for social justice organisations, most recently as the CEO of Union Chapel, the community/social justice charity and events venue in Islington. Michael was previously Acting CEO / Director of Social Change at Cardboard Citizens (an organisation Groundswell collaborate with), leading their national partnerships and campaigning, and has experience at a range of organisations such as Shelter and homeless charity The Upper Room.
Michael has been inspired by the work of Groundswell for years, leading in participatory, peer-led, cocreated approaches, amplifying voices and creating policy change led and informed by people with lived experience, particularly around homelessness, health, wellbeing and progression. Michael says ‘This work is critical now more than ever, and I look forwards to working with the team, supporting, innovating, informing policy & practice in the future to benefit people with lived experience’
