Following an initial Cost of Living Alliance event the BD Collective is working in partnership with the council to shape three important strategies, some of which have funding attached:

Cost of Living
Health Inequalities
Hardship

Organisations who would like to be part of shaping models to tackle any of these issues are invited to join an online briefing between 12-2pm on 3rd August.

Cost of Living

A community-based locality infrastructure model with a focus on short-term crisis intervention as well as building longer term community resilience

Health Inequalities

A cross-sector approach to enable and empower people, reducing health inequalities through community leadership

Three strands:

A locality model, which will be aligned with the Cost-of-Living locality team with a focus on building community-infrastructure to support access, referrals and build resilience in people

Tackling low-level emerging mental health issues in children and young people, using a participatory grant-making process. It will enhance work already started in the North Locality in B&D

Community-led support for people with NRPF: understanding and connecting into existing places.

Hardship

Supporting the council to explore how to support the most vulnerable people in our borough.
