The Social Ideas Podcast: Stigma & Homelessness

In the second episode about stigma and its negative effects on identity, we turn our attention to the King's Arms Project, in Bedford, UK, a charity for homeless people. Simon Dwight is the CEO of the organisation and, in addition to his challenging and fulfilling job, he is also a student of our MSt in Social Innovation.

While doing research for his dissertation, Simon found that there are other forms of stigma to be challenged: the caution and distrust between homeless people, and their feelings towards the charities and organisations that aim to provide support for them.
