Simon Community Scotland

Simon Community Scotland was awarded £137,975.05 in June 2026 to run their project for 36 months

This project will support people experiencing homelessness who are living with diabetes to develop confidence and practical self management skills that continue to work when routines break down, appointments are missed, or health slips down the list of immediate priorities. The project focusses on early engagement and sustained self management to reduce avoidable deterioration. Specialist diabetes care staff embedded within Simon Community’s homelessness services will work alongside individuals to strengthen day-to-day self management, including medication management, recognising and responding to symptoms, navigating food choices where options are limited, and planning for setbacks. The emphasis is on enabling people to take control of their health and make informed decisions within the realities of homelessness.
