R2R in partnership with Bournemouth Churches Housing Organisation delivered outreach services (POST) to rough sleepers in Poole from 2009 until April 2014 when Poole and Bournemouth Borough Councils jointly contracted with another organisation, CRI, to deliver this service across the whole conurbation.

Dear Sarah, Mark & Gabi
Just wanted to thank you and all those that have worked for POST over the past few years. The commitment, time and energy you have given to rough sleeper group in Poole is very much recognised and appreciated. There are too many individuals to name that have benefited from the support and assistance the service has helped to change and turn individual lives around. I’m sure they will also extend thanks.
 
The service has helped to significantly engage and influence a range of stakeholders, provide person-centred support in a multi-agency setting, to a complex group which is difficult to achieve, let alone sustain. Although there is much work still to do, the council recognises the progress made by the service in recent years (& is appreciative of your cooperation with CRI in the handover).
 
Thank you again and I’m sure there will be opportunities to work together in the future.
 
Regards
Ben Tomlin
Housing Services Manager
