Evaluations
In Winter 2022/23 SPEAR received funding from the South West London Integrated Care System (SWL ICS) Health Inequalities Fund to deliver:
- four Health and Wellbeing Days and follow up one-to-one support to those experiencing homelessness in the London boroughs of Wandsworth and Merton (December 2022).
- two Health and Wellbeing Days to those experiencing homelessness in the London borough of Richmond. (February 2023)
The aim of the projects was to improve rough sleeper’s access and engagement with primary healthcare services over the winter months.
We were also funded by the SWL ICS Innovation Fund to deliver a digital inclusion project for people experiencing homelessness.
The programme was delivered in five South West London boroughs of Richmond, Kingston, Wandsworth, Sutton and Merton. The aim of the project was to increase digital access to primary healthcare services by providing people with the equipment, skills, confidence and support that they required.
