My role at Catching Lives is as an outreach worker, supporting homeless individuals in the Canterbury area. This can involve building a rapport with people who, for various reasons, choose not to access our centre with the goal being to work towards them accessing our services. It can also involve accompanying clients to appointments, such as at hospitals, GP surgeries, work interviews and to view housing. I also take a lead on securing items, such as furtniture, that can help clients make the transition from rough sleeping to accommodation.
