Our Homeless Health Service provides flexible GP and therapy support for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless, helping them access the healthcare and wider support they need.
Working alongside local charities, housing providers and community organisations, we take a holistic approach to care, addressing both physical and mental health while connecting patients with essential services that promote stability, wellbeing and long-term recovery.
A flexible GP and therapy service to reach some of the most vulnerable in Peterborough with a focus on mental health. Working in partnership with other organisations offering support to those who are homeless or faced with homelessness.
This support not only focuses on access to a GP and therapist but also ranges from support in attending hospital outpatient appointments to ensuring that someone can have access to a healthy diet by issuing a foodbank voucher.
Psychotherapy support offers two types of therapy, short-term signposting support services and tailored long-term therapy, often addressing childhood trauma and the reasons triggering homelessness. This is often linked to work completed by partners in drug and alcohol treatment services.
We are proud of the collaborative working partnerships with key organisations such as Peterborough City Council Rough Sleeper Outreach Team, Outside Links (Sodexo), The Light Project Peterborough, Dual Diagnosis Outreach Team (CPFT), Boroughbury Medical Centre, Aspire, Housing Providers, Charities, Faith Groups, and other homeless services across the city.
