The HealthBus needs your support!
Help people experiencing homelessness to access healthcare by making a regular commitment to the HealthBus.
The HealthBus Trust
The HealthBus Trust is here to bring hope, dignity and enable positive change for people experiencing homelessness.
The Trust partners with clinical and non-clinical teams to create a wrap-around service that helps people improve their physical and mental health, free themselves from addiction and move on from homelessness.
Bill, aged 37, was sleeping rough during the winter months but has now been placed in temporary emergency accommodation due to the Covid Pandemic, said:
“This service saved my life when I was living on the streets. I was a mess and had given up. The HealthBus Team were so kind to me and have helped restore my hope in people. I have a long journey ahead out of addiction but am getting the help and support I need”.

Ways you can support us
Business Sponsorship
Whether you’re a business, a funding provider or a not-for-profit, we’d love you to partner with us as we help people who are experiencing homelessness to access essential healthcare. We aim to create long-term partnerships that deliver clear benefits to our partners as well as raising significant funds for our work.
A partnership with HealthBus can help your organisation build brand strength, engage your customers, employees and suppliers, and demonstrate your commitment to taking positive action for the community and inclusive healthcare.
The HealthBus is privileged to have the support and sponsorship of local businesses. Envista Branding is a vital sponsor and is committed to seeing people who are marginalised get the support they need. As a family-run business, (established in 2006) they have a heritage in Logo Branded PPE & Workwear which very quickly evolved into Promotional Products, Clothing & Merchandise. Envista has clear values regarding ethical sourcing, always being cautious that they only select manufacturers who can demonstrate that they work according to their Corporate & Social Responsibility standards.
“We love what HealthBus are doing and are honoured to be part of the story to support people locally access the healthcare that so many of us take for granted. As part of our social responsibility, we are committed to seeing people restored and moving away from the streets.” Mark Baxter, Envista Branding Owner.
