Knowledge Hub

People experiencing homelessness face significant healthcare challenges and significant barriers to accessing healthcare services. We have created a range of resources to ensure workers in the homelessness sector have existing skills and opportunities to talk to people around their healthcare needs.

This toolkit has been written by Dr Anna Tickle at Framework and Opportunity Nottingham with contributions from Westminster City Council, Change Communication, Professor Karen McKenzie at Northumbria University and Groundswell. There is also an accompanying webinar with Dr Tickle and other speakers.
