Blogs & conversations World Homeless Day: Preventing homeless deaths through harm reduction

Gill Taylor reflects on how her Churchill Fellowship is exploring harm reduction approaches to help prevent deaths among people experiencing homelessness. Drawing on field research in Canada, she shares how peer-led services, overdose prevention support, and low-barrier access to care can help keep people safe while protecting dignity. Following World Homeless Day, Gill argues that preventing deaths requires a whole-system approach, with people with lived experience of homelessness and drug dependency at its heart.

Blogs & conversations Looking abroad for solutions

Andrew Morris reflects on how his experience as an IPP prisoner shaped his commitment to criminal justice reform and led to his Churchill Fellowship. Travelling to Norway and New Zealand, he will explore rehabilitation-focused and restorative justice systems, looking at what becomes possible when justice is built around the belief that people can change. Through his work with New Wave Trust and wider policy engagement, he hopes to bring back practical learning that can support reform in the UK.
