Critique: • Well integrated in local community • A holistic service • Provides better healthcare access – removing barriers • Deals with ‘upstream’ issues, although is essence a ‘downstream’ initiative • Limited space due to limited funding
…cont. Evaluated and monitored by: • Board of Trustees • Clients • So?... More responsive to local need but doesn’t have to operate within government frameworks
Challenges: • Small NGO • Funding • Changes to benefits • The ‘hidden’ homeless of Winchester • Ex-offenders
Conclusion: • Invaluable service to the community • Liable to suffer due to instability of the economy
