Community & Wellbeing

Why we are doing it:

Our vulnerability project is about collaboration with key stakeholders to develop a community-led approach to the prevention of vulnerability within Breckland. It sets a clear tone that Breckland Council are here to collectively lead, enable and support a District-wide initiative to help our vulnerable residents.

We will take a leading role in the delivery of a District wide approach to Early Intervention and Prevention to help our most vulnerable residents by:

• Delivering weekly Early Intervention collaboration meetings.
• Delivering Social Prescribing services.
• Delivering The Silver Social for isolated older people.
• Delivering MyFuture:Social for isolated young carers.
• Delivering against the aims of the Local Authority Mental Health Challenge.

Collaborate:

We will work collaboratively within our communities to build capacity and resilience to help our most vulnerable residents by:

• Supporting community groups to develop, implement and shape solutions to local issues (setting up or formalising groups).
• Supporting the development of Community Hubs in our market towns.
• Supporting the development of community supermarkets by NCF.

Commission:

We will commission partners to deliver services when they are best placed to help our most vulnerable residents by:

• Funding the Daisy Programme Community & Early Help worker.
