Since April we have been changing the way that we offer our services for people impacted by homelessness. For those of you that have had the opportunity to visit our centre you will know that we have always opened our door to anyone that is in crisis or vulnerably housed in our city – this makes our service a very busy place.
Listening carefully to our clients’ needs, we are now protecting our support centre space from 9:00 to 10:30 in the morning for people who are rough sleeping or in immediate crisis, ensuring that they can get priority access to our facilities. This includes showers, clothing, food, and most importantly, protected time with our dedicated staff team to ensure that we can provide support for them on a one-to-one basis.
From 10:30 we are open to anyone that requires specific support with their housing situation, a nurse appointment, access to the Mental Health Team, Transition Team, prevention Hub, Social Networker, DWP, Employment support and much more.
From midday our recovery team are filling the support centre with classes, training, groups and workshops, inviting people who have experienced homelessness to enjoy lunch together and get involved in activities to promote wellbeing, inclusion and development.
These small changes have already led to an increase in effectiveness, safety, and insight into how people are accessing our services. If you would like to find out more about how these changes have impacted the lives of our clients or have any questions for us at all, please get in touch.
