Community coordination
Aim: To create a more connected local welfare landscape that directly contributes to Outcome 3 on bolstering the local level support landscape.
Provision of a joined-up, visible local support network enables a suitable range of Resilience Services to exist within a local area and ensures there are clear referral pathways between them and crisis support that connect and enhance the local support landscape.
This could include:
- coordinating with aligned programmes and initiatives - to complement, supplement or expand on existing provisions
- partnerships with other organisations to deliver coordinated support, develop local strategies to address poverty or negotiating favourable terms for people in low incomes (negotiation of social tariffs, discounted bills, debt cancellations or accessing energy-saving grants)
- outreach, disseminating physical materials - providing information using community locations such as schools, GPs and libraries of different local services available to individuals, how to apply and where to access services
- co-location of services - different services situated in the same physical space or building to provide more integrated and accessible support to individuals
