Fantastic feedback from Nikki, the Lived Experience Coordinator at Homeless Connect, following our joint workshops. Nikki’s passion for Lived Experience and research is amazing! We also look forward to sharing the results and seeing the impact of this vital work. #HomelessnessAwarenessWeek #SeeThePerson @homelessconnect

We believe that the research we conduct, when paired with lived experience is unstoppable. We are proud of this feedback given by an attendee from our workshops run along with Homeless Connect. #HomelessnessAwarenessWeek #SeeThePerson @homelessconnect

Yesterday’s launch of the #NewFoundationsProgramme at Parliament Buildings, Stormont, highlighted the value of administrative data research to help improve outcomes for young people leaving care. Our newly published research, which shows high levels of homelessness among care leavers, provides solid evidence to support action. Grateful to our partners @nihecommunity @healthdpt and @VOYPIC for the strong collaboration that provided important evidence for this exciting cross-departmental initiative and Ministerial address by @mikenesbittni.

We really enjoyed being part of Northern Ireland Public Data Panel / NIPDP data dialogue back in June. Our Director @Aideen_QUB and one of our researchers @DrSineadFurey brought presentations focusing on poverty and food insecurity. This was a very engaging and informative session. The panel is a great way to hear the public's voice on these important and relevant topics. Thank you for having us! See the link below to the full report of the data dialogue.
