**Grant monitoring report 23/24** **The London Network of Nurses and Midwives Homelessness Group (LNNM)** ## **Project overview and original stated outcomes** The LNNM homelessness group was set up in 1999, with a core purpose of bringing specialist nurses together to influence policy. Our aim is to improve health care for people experiencing homelessness in London by ensuring frontline staff voices are heard, promoting the retention of staff, sharing best practice, offering CPD opportunities and informal supervision and support. The funds received from LHF are to specifically cover: - the costs of a Network Administrator salary for two days a week - the delivery of an annual conference. ## **Progress this year** This year, the Network Administrator post has continued working with the Board to provide day to day administration/coordination, be a central point of contact for members and to develop and deliver a membership offer which includes: - The annual conference - Growing the membership - Communication - Network meetings - The website - Skills sharing - Evidence gathering - Collating responses around systems change We have grown our Board and have one new member who is currently a frontline health inclusion support worker, so brings different expertise and experience. We have also managed to secure some core funding from London ICBs. ## **Specific outcomes and Data** ## **1. Annual Conference** Our 2023 Annual Conference took place on the 9th June 2023 and was attended by 170 delegates. Our conferences always prove popular with our members and are the highlight of our year where we can bring together a range of inclusion health practitioners for a day of support, learning and celebration. Following on from the 2022 conference on ‘Self Neglect’, this year’s conference continued on the safeguarding theme and looked at ‘Organisation Neglect’ and responses to this. Following the conference, we produced a report and executive summary outlining the key insights and findings from the day. These were obtained through the interactive elements of the conference - the panel discussion, the conference-wide focus group, and participants’ engagement with Mentimeter throughout the day. These have been integrated with relevant recommendations from the keynote presentations in order to make suggestions for change. The report will be used to help direct the future work of the LNNM, but will also be used to inform partners of the views of the members of our network on this important topic. ## **2. Delivery of six well attended and evaluated network meetings.** Our network meetings are a core part of our offer and this year, continued to be popular with our members, providing opportunities for support and learning for inclusion health professionals. Six meetings were held during the funded year. **May 2023:** The Centre for Addictive Behaviours at LSBU presented their progress and lessons from their smoking cessation trial for smokers accessing homelessness services. 19 bookings. **July 2023** : Nicola Gitsham, Head of Healthcare Inequalities at NHS England came to talk about the development of their Health Inclusion Strategy. 24 bookings. **July 2023:** Jane Williams, CEO of The Magpie Project did a presentation on how they developed their strategy and worked with service users to produce it. 14 bookings. **Sept 2023:** The People's Recovery Project (TPRP) is a charity which aims to build sustained recovery for people experiencing homelessness and addiction. The cofounders, Ed Addison and Nathan Rosier spoke about how they have developed this new organisation and shared their future plans to improve access to Tier 4 residential treatment. 10 bookings. **Nov 2023** : Game Therapy UK is an exciting new charity providing innovative, evidence-based therapeutic games (“Dungeons and Dragons Therapy”) to groups at risk of social isolation. At this meeting they presented the evidence-base for therapeutic gaming in general and for people experiencing homelessness in particular and describe their experiences and challenges of running the Camden project. 11 bookings. ## **3. Funding of Homeless and Inclusion Health Masters Module placements.** In 2023 we were able to fund 5 applicants to undertake the stand alone Homeless and Inclusion Health Masters module at UCL (running for 10 weeks from April to July 2023). We had 19 applications for places. We selected 3 inclusion health nurses, 1 Groundswell employee, and 1 specialist housing support worker from a homeless hospital discharge team. All completed the course and massively valued the opportunity. ## **4. Delivery of 3 Safeguarding and case review sessions** This year we also held 3 safeguarding sessions in July 2023, October 2023 and February 2024 for practitioners to discuss complex and challenging cases involving people experiencing homelessness, alcohol dependence and/or self-neglect. We were excited to secure the support of Professor Michael Preston Shoot (Independent consultant and Professor of Social Work) and Mike Ward (Alcohol UK) to help run these sessions, bringing invaluable insights and expert knowledge to our members drawn from their research, adult safeguarding practice and review experience. Each session was extremely popular, and attended by over 50 practitioners from across the network. The key themes from these sessions will be written up in the next few months in order to report to the London Homelessness, Health and Safeguarding Development group. These will be used to support the planned review of Appendix 7 of the London wide Adult Safeguarding Policy and Procedure which concerns homelessness. ## **4. Pathway conference plenary** Following the safeguarding work of the LNNM, we were invited to deliver the main plenary session of day 2 of the Pathway conference, and used this as an opportunity to promote the LNNM network. ## 5. **Production of Self Neglect Guidance** Following the conference in 2022, and in response to requests from the front line we produced Self neglect and homelessness guidance, which was released in June 2023. Self-neglect is complex, and commonly written off as a ‘lifestyle choice’. This guidance supports practitioners to tackle discrimination, and work effectively alongside safeguarding services to respond effectively. Reviewed by multiple key experts in the field it has lots of practical tips for addressing common barriers that practitioners face when advocating for their clients. The LNNM hopes it will reduce stress and burn out by improving practitioner confidence to tackle this very challenging issue. ## **Key learning from monitoring and evaluation activity.** 1. The results of our conference evaluation reaffirmed the importance and significant value our members put on having opportunities to network, support and share good practice. - 94% said that overall, they were extremely or very satisfied - 95% said the conference was extremely or very well organised - 89% were extremely or very satisfied with the programme content - 76% were extremely or very satisfied with focus group sessions - 89% were extremely or very satisfied with the conference speakers - 89% were extremely or very satisfied with the workshops Here are a few quotes from participants: “The energy and drive in the room gave me so much hope for the future of homelessness inclusion health and supporting quality of life and parity of access.” “Absolutely loved the workshops - so inspiring to hear about the innovative projects people have developed in different areas.” 2. Survey results and feedback tells us that safeguarding remains a key concern of our members and frontline workers need support to tackle these issues purposefully and constructively in their own areas. This was a key ask at the last conference. 3. The number of nurses, midwives and health visitors attending our bi-monthly meetings and/or otherwise engaging with the network has increased, and we have made improvements to enable more members to access meetings by varying meeting times, increased marketing and by introducing a more widely used webinar platform. As a result of our activities, we have successfully grown the network by just over 10% to 405 active subscribers. In addition, we saw an increase of 16% in our social media following, enabling us to reach and share regular updates with our 2610 Twitter/X followers. ## **Future activities and sustainability planning** Strategic meetings have been held with partners to discuss on-going funding and support. This includes a recent meeting with the Director of Nursing and Deputy Regional Chief Nurse and Chris Streather (Regional Medical Director) of NHS England re working more closely with ICBs. The LNNM are also exploring ways to work more closely with the QNI to help increase capacity and support to the network. In the coming year we will deliver the following activities: - Annual Conference “Better Together” in June 2024 - Write up and share learning from safeguarding sessions, to support the planned review of Appendix 7 of the London wide Adult Safeguarding Policy and Procedure which concerns homelessness. - Website rebrand and redesign - Review of our charity vision and purpose with an away planned for later this year with an external facilitator to review our progress so far, and consider a 5 year forward plan. - Review and update of neurodiversity E Learning - Membership survey to support the review of our vision, and support the development of our membership offer. - Extend our reach and offer to student nurses and midwives through more targeted marketing. ## **Finance/Budget** ||| |---|---| |**INCOME**|| |LHF Funding 2023/24|£17,000| |**Total income**|**£17,000**| ||| |**EXPENDITURE**|| |**Staff costs**|| |Network Administrator (Development

The LNNM has fed into strategic groups and organisations around safeguarding for people experiencing homelessness and the curriculum for Inclusion Health higher education, as well as developing the e-learning on Autism and Diabetes, and contributing to best practice guidance, for example QNI Homeless Families. Kendra has been in touch with Chief Nurse Karen Bonner to see how LNNM can continue work with the CNO, and Sam and Jane met with Jemma Gilbert and Dr Jasmin Malik to look at a possible way forward to amalgamate the work of LNNM and Transforming Partners in Health Care (THPC). A possible amalgamation of both organisations would be a good way forward without LNNM having to carry all the work. Jemma is exploring whether this could sit with London Region. The LNNM’s partnership with the London Housing Foundation has been invaluable in enabling the annual conference. We are awaiting confirmation of this ongoing funding. The LNNM has a challenging year ahead with no financial reserves and our wonderful Network Development Lead Di due to leave her post in February. We will need to look at our financial sustainability and how the Network can continue to fulfil the vision and the needs that we see still exist in this field, as outlined in the Secretary’s report. I would like to thank all Trustees for their hard work, resourcefulness and contributions to some huge achievements this year and wish the incoming Chair all the best in the role. ## **Claire Joels (Interim Chair, resigning today)** ## **LNNM ACTIVITIES** ## **Partnership with NHSE** - Karen Bonner (new Chief Nurse for London) did not take up the CNO post until the 16th December 2024 and Jane Clegg was in the process of handing over to her at last contact.
