One of the aims of The Spike is to bring together teams within the homeless sector, from across the country and possibly the world and to share our knowledge and experiences. We hope that by doing this we can maximise service potential within this sector and work more efficiently and effectively with rough sleepers and homeless clients on the front line.
The Spike is now using Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and we hope to reach a variety of services and front line workers. Support is steadily growing, we have 156 Twitter followers, 43 Facebook friends and we recently joined LinkedIn. Please join us and take part.
Facebook (Homelessness Outreacher or The Spike group) or Twitter at TheSpike2010
We have used the MindMeister tool to create a quick link base to various support services used within the homeless sector by front line workers. This diagram breaks down possible needs and then provides (in most cases and where possible) a website link to that service or resource.

You can also embed that mind map here on the blog. Here's my writeup on how to accomplish this: http://bit.ly/byaBFk
ReplyDeleteMind map is exclusive in this post. Nice and informative post.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information about mindmeister. I work with a collaboration of churches in the Tacoma, WA area working together to end homelessness. This looks like a great tool.
