A chance to do better
Staff across the voluntary, health, and social care sectors are often under-equipped to support people experiencing homelessness and multiple disadvantage. These individuals face systemic barriers, stigma, and frequently go without diagnosis or appropriate care for complex needs.
Since 2010, rough sleeping in the UK has increased by 164%, costing the public over £1 billion annually and contributing to a life expectancy as low as 45 years.
Despite working on the frontline of this crisis, many staff receive little or no specialist training. This can lead to anxiety, distress, and burnout—driving attrition and undermining the quality and consistency of care. In the long run, this deepens inequality and limits the impact of services.
That’s where aneemo comes in.
