Carla Raynes

Carla Raynes is a visionary changemaker and the driving force behind Bridge It, a charity which provides homes and support to young people impacted by the out-of-home-care system and homelessness.

With over 20 years of frontline and leadership experience in the homelessness sector across the UK and Australia, Carla relentlessly questions the status quo and drives new models of support that prioritise dignity, agency, and impact.

Carla also founded Challenge The Label, a social enterprise speaker agency that elevates the voices of women, many of whom have been impacted by homelessness and channels 50% of its profits back into Bridge It.

At Ready25, Carla will take part in a panel discussion, unpacking the property sector’s role in ending homelessness.
