A £73 million scheme to improve peoples’ life chances has been extended as government increases support for vulnerable people. The extension to the programme, which launched in 2021, is backed by £9.5 million from the government’s Shared Outcomes Fund.
The programme is designed to overcome challenges adults face in receiving support from the NHS and local support services. It focuses on bringing together the work of local councils, charities and support services into easily accessible teams that can better cater for a person’s range of issues, rather than them having to seek separate support for each area of their life.
