Description
The Fairer Futures Fund (FFF) is a mechanism to support the Birmingham & Solihull (BSol) Integrated Care System to move to new ways of working that bring teams together to think, plan and deliver in a different way. The Integrated Care Board has delegated responsibility for allocation and management of the Solihull fund to the Solihull Place Committee to administer in line with the needs of local citizens.
The fund is designed to seed-corn and support activities that will contribute to improved integrated working which in turn will improve outcomes and help to tackle inequality. Initially, the majority of these may be on a very localised or team-based level, with a view to some initiatives creating new ways of working that can be scaled up and adopted across Birmingham and Solihull.
The Fund will be allocated and managed fairly with particular reference to:
o Impartiality and transparency in decision-making by the Place Committee;
o Objectivity in evaluating projects;
o Projects to be informed by expertise of practitioners, as well as communities;
o Co-production and equal partnership with the voluntary sector and communities.
The purpose of the fund is to:
o Bring teams and organisations together to think, plan and deliver in a different way;
o Support the core purpose of the ICS - improve outcomes, reduce inequalities, enhance value for money and support broader social and economic development;
o Support the Leadership Transformation Priorities - Integrated Neighbourhood Teams, technology, workforce, estates, inequalities, and using excellence to standardise care;
o Deliver against the Solihull Outcomes Framework (see below).
The Fund is not intended to be used to standardise existing delivery models or plug funding gaps in existing services. We are looking for new, innovative schemes.
