Networks & Other Partners

The initiative operates alongside, and is in partnership with, a variety of statutory and voluntary agencies / organisations within the homelessness field. Close working relationships with Local Authority Housing/Homeless and Social Work area teams are now firmly established and we attend a variety of local and national forums / working groups
e.g. Homeless Network Forum, RSI Network, Social Work Substance Misuse Forum, Local Authority Homeless Working Group, Local Churches Homeless/Key Scheme, Social Work Criminal Justice Forum etc.

In addition to the aforementioned semi-formal working partners, we have also developed formal arrangements / partnerships with other related organisations who link with the initiative and/or provide services on a sessional basis
e.g. Health & Homelessness Coordinator (Practice Nurse, who along with a local GP provide a health access point at a Church drop in centre one evening per week), Glasgow Council for Alcohol (at home alcohol counseling service - 10 hrs p.w.), Lanarkshire Association for Mental Health (service similar to Glasgow Council for Alcohol)
