Scandinavian countries are often heralded as being at the forefront of tackling homelessness. We speak to Viveka Holmberg from Gatans Lag about the state of homelessness, how Housing First can help and the role sport can play.
Viveka Holmberg is the Stockholm Operations Manager at our Swedish partner Gatans Lag, which means ‘Law of the Street’. She’s been playing football for more than thirty years and believes in the power of sport to create a community and create positive and meaningful change.
Since starting up, Gatans Lag has gone from being a small charity in Gothenburg to expanding across the country. We find out the key lessons Viveka has learnt since joining and how sport can help people to reintegrate into society.
