Terrific success was achieved in a terrible year through the “Everyone In” programme – a bright light of collaboration, social action, decisive government and local government leadership.

The next challenge is to sustain and embed that success and not go backwards in 2022 and the decade ahead.

How can we avoid a repeat of the mistakes made after the 2008 financial crash?

• Government has continued with the policy without announcing the means for 2022
• Economic fallout we know will lead to increasing homelessness and health challenges
• Rule changes as pandemic unwinds and new rules on recourse to public funds will leave new groups vulnerable, especially legal immigrant communities
• The hidden homelessness are likely to become hidden no more

Crowdfunding at Pathway

Crowdfunding supports the annual Pathway conference. Crowdfunding is not new.

Pathway Conference relies on the form of crowdfunding from the delegates, exhibitors, government agencies, charity and professional partners and sponsors all putting in the share they can afford .

Kick started with seed-corn money from Pathway, this approach to crowdfunding means that half the delegates come subsidised or fully funded and that the whole programme is filmed and streamed for those who can’t come at all – including international homelessness campaigners.

Everyone who puts something in gets something out in the form of high value video content.

Pathway’s crowd funding creates something bigger than the sum of the parts creating digital resources for everyone working on homelessness.

Pathway’s crowdfunding approach has created the biggest online video catalogue of professional presentations for staff and campaigners in homelessness, health and inclusion in the UK.
We are grateful to Neil Stewart Associates for funding and underwriting the risk on the Pathway conference upon which this form of crowdfunding depends.

We thank all our supporters, participants and sponsors for being part of our crowd bringing an end to homelessness.

We constantly monitor the live stream on multiple devices in a variety of locations to ensure it’s quality. If there is a problem with the stream we will let viewers know immediately in the chat box. If you are experiencing problems viewing the stream and there is no announcement in the chat, the likelihood is that the issue is local rather than general. Here are the most common issues viewers encounter:

Browser: Please do not try to watch this stream using internet explorer. Internet explorer does not support live streaming, we recommend using Google Chrome (PC) or Safari (Mac) as your browser to view this live stream and participate in the chat.

Internet speed: The most common issue viewers face is a weak or unreliable WiFi/Broadband signal. As a first point of action simply pause the live stream video for 10 seconds and then press play again. This will allow the video to catch up with itself. If your signal is really weak and dropping out the video will keep freezing or buffering. Check your internet connection using Which Broadband Speed Test. A download speed of 3mbps or higher should mean you are able to play the video. In the worst case scenario try sending the link to this page to your mobile phone and disconnecting your phone from WiFi. If your phone has a good 3G or 4G signal, you should be able to play the video.

Firewalls: If you are attempting to watch this live stream on a device provided by your hospital/employer there may be a built in firewall that blocks live streaming video. This is especially common with devices provided by healthcare organisations. If this is the case please try using your own personal laptop/tablet/phone.

Other wifi users: If you are viewing this live stream from home and other members of your household are also using the WiFi to download files, watch live streaming TV such as Netflix or play online games, this may put undue stress on your WiFi and effect the quality of your stream.

Cloud Services: Live streaming video does not function in many cloud services. Come out of your employer’s Cloud/IT system and open this in an external browser.

Memory: If your device is struggling for memory space the live stream will not play correctly. Reduce the number of other windows and tabs you have open and shut down all unnecessary programmes other than the ones you need to watch this stream.

Battery: Make sure your device is plugged in or has plenty of battery!
