HealthBus Trust
Specialist Healthcare for People Experiencing Homelessness
CARE THAT MOVES AT THE PACE OF TRUST!
For people experiencing homelessness, accessing healthcare isn't always simple. Many face barriers, stigma, and challenges that can leave vital health needs unmet. That's where HealthBus steps in.
HealthBus is an award-winning charity delivering specialist, nurse-led healthcare directly to people experiencing homelessness across Bournemouth and surrounding areas. By bringing care to where people are, we create a safe, welcoming, and non-judgemental space where trust can grow and health can improve.
More about HealthBus Trust
SOMEONE HAS TO CARE, AND WE DO!
HealthBus is an award-winning charity that brings healthcare directly to people experiencing homelessness in Bournemouth and nearby areas. We run a mobile nurse-led specialist healthcare service designed specifically for those without a permanent home, working closely with other local homeless organisations. Our goal is to deliver safe, high-quality healthcare that is easy to access, focused on the needs of each person, and provided in a safe and non-judgemental environment.
We believe everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of their circumstances. Our team takes the time to listen, build relationships, and provide personalised support that puts people first.
From health checks, wound care, blood testing, and medication support to mental health and sexual health services, we're there when people need us most. But our work goes beyond healthcare. We help connect people with the wider support they need to rebuild their lives, improve their wellbeing, and move towards a healthier, more positive future.
SPECIALIST CARE. REAL COMPASSION. LASTING IMPACT.
Every day, we work to reduce health inequalities and ensure that people experiencing homelessness are seen, heard, and supported. Together with our partners across the community, we're helping create better outcomes and brighter futures for some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
Putting patients first isn't just what we do. It's who we are.
