Frontline Worker Emergency Fund - Survey Launched

Thursday, March 19, 2020
Have you completed the Frontline Worker "Emergency Fund" survey? 


The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak presents significant and fast-evolving challenges for the homelessness sector. 

We are conscious that services are already being impacted by staff capacity as people go into isolation and work from home, and that there could be severe consequences for the services you provide on the frontline.

In light of this, St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity is creating an “Emergency Fund”, which can be accessed by frontline workers supporting people experiencing homelessness, who have been directly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

To ensure this fund is as effective as possible, we want to identify the best ways to support your work during this outbreak.

We would like to know what emerging areas you believe require immediate additional funding, to support your work on the frontline.

This survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.

We want to hear from all frontline workers (case workers, managers, volunteers) who directly support people who are experiencing homelessness. This includes those working in the voluntary, statutory, and public sectors. 

Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey – the results will be anonymous.

Not a Frontline Worker?

How can you help?

Share the survey with frontline workers:

If you know someone who supports people experiencing homelessness, we want to hear their views. They might work in roles including outreach, housing, charity, social work, health, or probation.

If you have any queries or comments, please do not hesitate to contact our Policy and Communications Officer, Marcus Loney-Evans: Marcus.loney-evans@stmartinscharity.org.uk.
