Description

The Council is seeking bids to agree a grant-based service provision with a locally focused voluntary sector organisation/consortium* to provide independent and universally available advice and guidance to our residents. We see the provision of independent, informed and consistent support being available to our residents relating to debt counselling and the management of household budgets, supporting families and individuals through significant changes in benefit entitlement and the impacts of these changes as critical to the future growth, sustainability and strength of our communities. These services will align themselves with the services the Council offers through its own dedicated revenue and benefits support services and referrals made from both the Council and other organisations in the borough. *Enfield Council defines a 'locally focused voluntary sector organisation/consortia' as one that is based in or delivers services in Enfield, is not for profit and is a formal organisation run by a management body that include volunteers who are engaged in that activity for environmental, economic or social good.
