Homeless awareness

After years of working alongside our friends at Royal Trinity Hospice they embraced our innovative proposal for Homeless Awareness Week, an immersive first-person VR homeless experience. Recognising the unique healthcare challenges faced by their homeless community, Trinity sought to understand their perspective and engagement with healthcare services.

Goals & Outcomes

Trinity wanted to help staff empathise with the homeless community’s perspective on accessing services.

By better understanding their feelings and needs, the goal was to boost staff confidence and encourage them to reach out in real life when witnessing homeless community members in need of palliative care.
