Spring North and The VCFSE Alliance have recently announced three funding opportunities under the UEC Winter Capacity programme – and we’re keen to hear from organisations operating in Blackburn with Darwen who would like to be part of a bid.
Sorry for the short notice – but the funding opportunity has only just been issued and the deadline is 10am on Monday 2nd September.
Your organisation will need to have a track record of engaging with and/or working with adults aged 20 to 64 year old experiencing multiple disadvantage (e.g. homelessness, experience of the criminal justice system, mental health, alcohol or substance misuse, survivor or perpetrator of domestic abuse) who reside within the Blackburn Central ward.
You will need to bring with you to the workshop information on how your organisation can work collaboratively to: –
- i) Identify and engage the target cohorts of individuals and families living in Blackburn Central who are at risk of frequent use of urgent and emergency care;
- ii) Help to identify the underlying issues driving by high urgent emergency care demand within Blackburn Central and involve people with lived experiences to understand the factors contributing to this demand;
- iii) Suggest interventions that will address both immediate needs and underlying causes;
- iv) Suggest ways of monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the interventions to reduce urgent and emergency care attendances;
- v) Suggest ways of gathering service user feedback and using the feedback to refine interventions and improve service delivery”
The workshop is being held on Tuesday 27th August from 10am to 12 noon within the Conference Room at the Boulevard Centre, 45 Railway Road, Blackburn BB1 1EZ.
