Health Outreach Liaison Team (HOLT)

Being homeless or having difficulties with housing shouldn’t prevent you from getting the health and support you need.

At our clinics, you can meet our care nurses, mental health professionals and senior support workers if you need help with a mental health or physical condition. We can also offer pregnancy testing, and advice and support.

When you visit us, we’ll offer an assessment and get to know you and your situation better. You don’t need to bring to bring any ID with you or proof of address.

Depending on the outcome, we’ll refer you to the right service or agency that can help you, such as a local GP, dentist, and opticians.

We also work with teams at local job centres, and charities and support groups such as CIRDIC, St Mungo’s and Launchpad to run a number of clinics across Berkshire.

You don’t need to be referred or book an appointment to visit one of our clinics. You can drop in at any time during our open hours.

However you can be referred by a healthcare professional or support services. They do this by sending a referral form to us, or by contacting us directly.
