Ross Browning

Ross brings a distinctive combination of professional experience and lived experience to his role of lead support.

With extensive experience across community organisations, Ross has developed considerable knowledge of the complex relationship between addiction, homelessness, social exclusion and health inequalities.

His professional journey has given him valuable insight into both the strengths and limitations of existing support systems, and the importance of developing services that genuinely respond to the needs of the people using them.

Ross has worked with the Hepatitis C Trust, delivering frontline outreach and community-based support.

As a CCAR-accredited Recovery Coach, with Level 3 qualifications in Social Prescribing and Safeguarding Adults, Ross combines recognised professional training with the insight that comes from his own lived experience of recovery.

Ross has a particular commitment to supporting people leaving prison and those whose lives have been shaped by addiction, homelessness and disadvantage. He understands that rebuilding a life involves far more than addressing substance use or securing accommodation. It requires connection, stability, renewed self-belief and the opportunity to develop a meaningful place within society.

As Director of Hwyl Housing CIC, Ross plays a central role in shaping the organisation's recovery ethos, operational development and support framework.

The personal conviction behind his work has been created by lived experience. Having navigated his own journey of recovery, he understands both the courage required to change and the profound difference that being believed in can make.
