According to UK homelessness charity Crisis, 45% of people experiencing homelessness have been diagnosed with a mental health issue. For rough sleepers, that figure rises to 80%. These individuals also struggle with everyday life skills, which makes a future move to independent living extremely challenging. Apax’s key workers spend one-to-one time with residents, helping them overcome different issues, including mental wellness and digital exclusion. However, time-consuming, paper-based reports have historically been required following every session. The opportunity to enhance residents’ digital skills, combined with the organisation’s potential to expand its internal capabilities, presents a promising pathway to embrace and effectively integrate innovative technologies.
Challenge
Israa Qaddourah, Project Manager, Apax
Every one of our residents has the potential to live independently one day. Our job is to provide the services that ensure they can confidently complete that journey. Our new VR Wellness programme has delivered incredible results that have improved mental health and provided the skills that people need for a more fulfilling life.
Supporting 140-plus residents in London who have experienced homelessness and mental health issues, Apax delivers services that empower independent living and social cohesion. By combining Meta Quest 2 headsets with the TRIPP meditation app, Insight enabled Apax’s key workers to boost mental health recovery and promote digital inclusion among residents, enhancing their journey toward independent living.
Background
• Utilisation of Meta VR headsets with TRIPP digital wellness platform • Insight delivered the hardware, TRIPP software licencing and change management services
Having undergone a successful digital transformation, Apax began investigating how immersive technologies could improve the mental wellbeing of its residents.
Apax is a progressive, non-profit, social enterprise that adopts a creative approach to providing assisted living and supported housing services to vulnerable adults.

updates and a range of wellbeing experiences that were carefully selected to positively impact residents’ moods. The spatial computing deployment resulted in residents not only reducing stress, managing their mood and depression, but also helped them develop the skills and confidence for a more fulfilling life. Built on a digital platform, the programme also eliminated paper-based reporting, freeing up key workers to provide more quality support to residents. The programme’s success has prompted Apax to explore other applications for the VR headsets, aiming to enhance staff training and digital skills among residents across their business.
With clinical trials showing that VR technology can help people recover from mental health problems, Apax decided to deploy immersive technology to improve its residents’ mental wellness and provide a complementary recovery programme to traditional methods. Extending its partnership with Meta, Apax chose the Quest 2 VR headset, while it recruited Insight to build a strategy on how to best utilise the hardware, identify the most suitable wellness applications and deliver a change management service to ensure the smooth roll-out of the new technology. Insight recommended the TRIPP wellness platform for its unique spatial audio and visual experience. It negotiated a software licence that enabled Apax to benefit from regular
Solution and Outcome
As a leading solutions integrator, Insight is in a unique position to deliver all three critical elements of a VR wellness programme – the hardware, software licencing and the professional services needed to successfully deploy this new way of delivering mental health improvement. Thanks to Insight’s discovery-based approach and innate understanding of Meta hardware, the company was able to quickly assess Apax’s readiness and existing skillsets to build a tailored strategy that resulted in the VR technology becoming embedded within the organisation’s culture

Recognising the growing significance of eSports and the wider benefits of inclusivity, West Buckland School looked to introduce a dedicated programme. Its most significant challenge was shifting traditional mindsets while, at the same time, finding a suitable space for the new venture within its mix of historic and contemporary facilities. Prioritising powerful graphics capabilities, the school approached Insight on how best to create a facility complete with equipment that enabled students to pursue their passion for gaming in a unique environment.
James Hart Prieto, Head of Digital
“Insight has been a fantastic partner for our technology upgrades. They’re always offering fresh ideas and willing to work with us to find the perfect solution. Their responsiveness and flexibility are crucial for meeting our school’s needs.”
As a forward-thinking, leading independent school, known for academic excellence and offering a comprehensive education programme, West Buckland sought to introduce an eSports suite to enhance students’ learning and build inclusivity. It engaged with Insight as its trusted technology advisor to find the right high-performance and cost-effective solution.
• Over a dozen PCs required to support the project. • The school required state of the art tier-1 devices.
To do this, it needed to identify suitable hardware that could support a range of gaming titles.
Recognising the increasing relevance of eSports and the benefits it brings to pupils and faculty, West Buckland School wanted to develop a premier eSports facility for existing and prospective students.

West Buckland’s programme enables students to be trained in 3 competitive titles.
The programme has the potential to benefit over 700 students across design, music, CCF, and competitive gaming.

The school’s investment is secured by a five-year warranty on all hardware components.

RESULTS IN NUMBERS
Phillip Stapleton, Headmaster, West Buckland School
eSports isn’t just about playing games. It’s about fostering teamwork, strategic thinking, and a sense of community. Thanks to Insight, West Buckland now provides students with a space to develop these skills in a competitive, yet inclusive and supportive environment.”
The facility goes beyond eSports, serving the school’s broader needs in design, music production, and even Combined Cadet Force (CCF) flight simulation training. This versatility maximises the impact of the investment. West Buckland’s team is primed for success, with aims of competing in the British eSports Championships Series in titles League of Legends, Rocket League, and Overwatch. Beyond competition, the eSports programme serves as an attractive element for prospective students, supporting initiatives like eSports camps, designed to offer immersive gaming experiences and multifaceted eSports education to not just pupils, but the wider community.
West Buckland School partnered with Insight to create a top-tier eSports facility. Insight played a consulting role in helping the school to select the partner, Lenovo, and the hardware, Lenovo’s Legion computers, equipped with NVIDIA 4060 Ti graphics cards, ensuring exceptional performance for both competitive gaming and demanding creative software like Adobe Suite and SolidWorks. Backed by a five-year warranty, the investment demonstrates commitment to longevity and adaptability. West Buckland chose the Lenovo Legion range for its reputation as a recognised and trusted brand within the gaming industry. This ensured a high level of performance and reliability, crucial for a demanding eSports environment. Additionally, Lenovo’s willingness to support the school with branding and potential sponsorship opportunities further solidified the partnership.
West Buckland School’s longstanding partnership with Insight made it the natural choice for advising on the new eSports facility. The school valued Insight’s heritage, its comprehensive tech solutions and its commitment to finding the best fit for its unique needs. Having delivered on projects in the past, West Buckland School knew that Insight would deliver a competitively priced solution and work to deliver the best possible value. Insight’s dedication to West Buckland’s success was key.
