Now in our ninth year, the Frontline Network Annual Conference brings together frontline practitioners, experts by experience, sector leaders and academics from all four nations of the UK for a day of learning, solidarity and inspiration. The conference is:
• Free to attend
• Fully online
• Flexible - dip in to sessions as you like
• Tailored to you - the event content has been informed by staff in organisations across the UK who submitted key focuses to us on issues affecting them and the people they support. Topics included in our sessions have been directly influenced by the feedback we have received in our annual frontline worker survey, completed by staff in the homelessness sector
The Frontline Network launched ten years ago as a UK-wide offer of support to frontline staff, to amplify their voices and highlight best practice in the sector. In ten years, the sector has faced multiple challenges and difficulties, from austerity, rising housing costs, welfare reform, COVID and increasing demand for crisis support.
Yet throughout these challenges, we have also witnessed the extraordinary passion, resilience, and determination of frontline workers. We have seen innovation and new ideas emerge to improve outcomes for people experiencing homelessness, the unwavering care and commitment of teams working in difficult circumstances, and the strength of communities coming together to support one another and drive positive change.
The Frontline Network Annual Conference 2026 aims to reflect all these experiences — recognising and understanding the challenges facing the homelessness sector, while also giving voice to the inspiring work, dedication, and compassion demonstrated by frontline workers every day. The conference will provide an opportunity to share ideas, learn from one another, and celebrate the impact of frontline services across the UK.
Please join us at our online event on the 23rd June. You will hear from specialist frontline practitioners, people with lived and living experience, sector leaders and researchers in our selection of live webinars.
