Description
The Changing Futures programme is an aligned funding programme being co-delivered by The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) and The National Lottery Community Fund (the Fund). It was launched on 10 December 2020 with publication of a prospectus for local area Expressions of Interest.
The programme has an outcomes-focused approach. There is a focus on learning from local areas' proposals and approaches and encouragement of flexibility and innovation in delivery, building on and enhancing existing local services and partnerships as part of a national programme through which areas will learn from each other and shape national policy.
Local partnerships are expected to follow the core principles of the programme in their delivery, as set out below:
• Work in partnership across local services and the voluntary and community sector, building strong cross-sector partnerships at a strategic and operational level that can design and implement an improved approach to tackling multiple disadvantage.
• Coordinate support, and better integrate local services that support adults experiencing multiple disadvantage to enable a 'whole person' approach (see below).
• Create flexibility in how local services respond to adults experiencing multiple disadvantage, taking a system-wide view with shared accountability and ownership leading to better service provision across statutory and voluntary organisations and a 'no wrong door' approach to support.
• Involve people with lived experience of multiple disadvantage in the design, delivery and evaluation of improved services and in governance and decision making.
• Take a trauma-informed approach across local system, services and in the governance of the programme;
• Commit to drive lasting system-change, with long-term sustainable changes to benefit people experiencing multiple disadvantage and commitment to sustain the benefits of the programme beyond the lifetime of the funding.
