Greater Change

Who we are

Founded in 2018 by Alex McCallion and Jonathan Tan, Greater Change is an innovative social enterprise focused on helping people overcome the financial barriers on their pathway out of homelessness using personalised budgets.

We provide cash transfers to those either experiencing or at risk of homelessness, giving people what they need to secure housing and stability and leave homelessness behind.

We work to provide cash transfers that remove the financial barriers keeping people trapped in homelessness or pushing them towards it. The model is simple, dignified, and incredibly cost-effective. And we’ve demonstrated it works: 85% of the people we support move into or sustain stable accommodation, generating over £40,000 in cost savings with each client we support. We partner with charities and support workers who refer people to us who would benefit from our financial support. 

People are falling into homelessness every single day, and now, over 300,000 people in the UK are homeless. This is having not only a profound human cost, but is also costing the government over £3.8 billion every year.  Our goal is ultimately to use personalised budgets as a dignified and effective tool to end homelessness.
