Welcome to Challenging, a podcast by Shelter reflecting on the ambitious and life-changing service run with Birmingham Changing Futures Together, that helped people with multiple and complex needs out of homelessness.

In this episode, we're talking about the power of collaboration. During the four years the service ran, a lot of collaborative work took place; in the partnerships between Lead Workers and Peer Mentors, and between organisations.

The partnerships meant life-changing results for people with Multiple and Complex Needs, but it also meant systemic change that would help even more people in the long term.

If you’re enjoying this podcast, we’d be really grateful if you rated and reviewed it on your favourite podcatcher. Doing so helps ensure this is heard by even more supporters, and even more housing and support professionals, and that helps us in our mission to keep the work of the Lead Worker Peer Mentor service going.
