Abstract
This article describes the development of a nurse-led voluntary organisation that provides basic foot care to the homeless at street level in three Welsh cities. There is a large percentage of street sleepers who choose not to access professional health and care services for various reasons, and many of these individuals have foot health problems, such as sore, painful, swollen feet from continuous walking, calluses, dried skin, blisters that are often de-roofed and trench foot. Through support and education, however, several of these people have been able to take ownership of their identified problems, by building trusting relationships with Homeless Hope nurses. Through collaborative communication with professional services, Homeless Hope nurses provide an informal link between non-engaging rough sleepers and the services in place to help support them.
