Today I launch my new podcast - Change Talk - on YouTube, drawing learning about change from across the public and not-for-profit sectors. 1st episode looks at how #MostSignificantChange is getting the #arts and #culture sector excited about #evaluation https://t.co/wAyeNiUl20

Want practical tips on what helps people change behaviours - and, perhaps more importantly - what doesn't? Here I chat with therapist Lydia Guthrie on what she has learned in her varied career https://t.co/rt7kkmgU0S #attachment #FamilyTherapy

Supporting groups or teams reach genuinely democratic decisions, despite power dynamics? #Democracy #engagement #decisions
Ep 2 of Change Talk with Paul Connery is on #DeepDemocracy - lean into conflict safely and learn from the wisdom of the minority https://t.co/ONqL8T8qPu

Our evaluation for Elmore is out! In this pilot, Elmore added an extra layer of flexible, persistent and creative support within and beyond the homeless pathway for those who might otherwise have got stuck or been evicted. @HomelessLink @crisis_uk @NicholasPleace @natfednews

Delighted to see our new study on #supportedhousing with @NicholasPleace for @natfednews launched today in the House of Parliament. Highlights the need for better integration of the sector in health & social care systems and more #socialhousing

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

Today we launch our new report: The value of supported housing to homelessness prevention, health and wellbeing. We found more than half of people ready to move on from #SupportedHousing are being “blocked” by a lack of suitable homes 👉 https://t.co/xnrJgOD30A

#housingfirstnow ‘Housing 1st has been proven to be one of the most effective health policies - not just a housing policy’ @AndyBurnhamGM Understanding the intersectionality of homelessness/ multiple disadvantage & the need for joined up working & NHS investment is critical
