Amnesty UK and homelessness charity Groundswell orchestrated the action, which comes following the launch of their new charter, Ending Homelessness Together — Our Voice, Our Rights.

The charter was developed in partnership with those with lived experience of homelessness and aims to ensure policymakers hear their views and priorities.
