About Rebecca:

Rebecca White is the CEO and Founder of Your Own Place.  As a social entrepreneur, ex-local authority commissioner for social services and qualified secondary school teacher, Rebecca has years of experience working with young people in a variety of settings. Rebecca exemplifies the successful combination of business minded, policy-lead strategic and third sector experience. What really drives Rebecca is social inequality and finding new entrepreneurial, financially sustainable and people-lead solutions to addressing it.  She says that ‘by the roll of a dice a person’s life chances are dramatically altered.  Homelessness is just one manifestation of social inequality. Our neighbours, solicitors, businesspeople, teachers and members of the public are our biggest asset.  If we can effectively leverage this people power into social action in the most impactful way possible we can go some way to supporting those that need it most whilst benefiting ourselves too’.
