What we have: voluntary, third sector and additional support
The Council currently commission 13 third sector providers under our Preventative Support Grant, supporting individuals with a range of needs and carers as below:
- Mental health
- Hoarding
- Alzheimer’s
- Sensory impairments
- Housing related support for individuals with a learning disability
- Wellbeing and isolation support
- Carers' support
Third sector support which is currently commissioned under the Preventative Support Grant is due to expire in March 2025. During 2024 we will work with the Integrated Care Board to determine future commissioning arrangements.
We also commission a range of wider support options including appointeeships and money management, advocacy, and a communicator guide service for deaf blind individuals.
