Look Ahead joins the Housing LIN's family of sponsors
We are delighted to announce that Look Ahead have joined the Housing LIN's family of sponsors. They support thousands of people across London and the South East with a diverse range of needs, helping them to make individual choices, achieve goals and take control of their own lives by providing tailor-made support, care and accommodation services, including people who are homeless or have mental health needs.
Look Ahead has over 40 years’ experience partnering with local authorities and the NHS to provide a range of over 115 commissioned services in mental health, learning disabilities, homelessness and young people. Their frontline services include intensive support or resettlement for people who have been rough sleeping and supporting older adults with a long history of multiple exclusions or tenancy breakdown and are increasingly frail or in poor health.
Look Ahead have become the exclusive sponsor of our dedicated homeless microsite on the Housing LIN's webpages. These ‘go to’ pages host tools, guidance and resources on everything to support prevention, and examples of working with people who are homeless and addressing their housing and wider needs.
Chris Hampson, Look Ahead’s Chief Executive said:
“As a leading specialist supported housing provider, Look Ahead is pleased to support the work on the Housing LIN. The role that the LIN plays in sharing and disseminating best practice is vital. It is only by learning from others that we can continue to ensure that our sector is providing the best services possible within the very limited budgets available to us."
We look forward to working with Chris and team, including learning more about the recent research report at our upcoming free HAPPI Hour session on Thursday, 13 May to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week.
