£112 million Lottery grant to improve social services
Grants of up to £10 million have been provided to 12 areas across England to help coordinate services for those using charities and social services.
The investment will bring together various organisations in the 12 areas to provide a more 'joined up service' and greater stability to users.
Nat Sloane, Big Lottery Fund England Chair, said: “We’ve worked with a range of charities who tell us that currently the system is flawed - people are passed from pillar to post and the result is them rebounding in and out of A&E departments and criminal courts rather than being helped in an effective way by integrated support services. This £112 million investment will end the revolving door of care for these vulnerable people and rather than being drains on society will allow them to become assets that benefit their communities and society as a whole.”
