Vagebond was founded in 2016 by Bernard and Anisah Kregting. Their experience of homelessness grew into an initiative where people are not discussed as a subject, but share their own stories and knowledge.
Stories that are heard beyond the walk.
Vagebond shares lived experience through interviews, podcasts, radio and regional media. This keeps homelessness visible as both a housing issue and a human-rights issue.
Bernard Kregting talks about his time on the street and why lived experience matters.
