Description

Central Area Council is looking to commission a Provider to develop and deliver a service that offers volunteer led, home based one to one engagement, with follow-on support provided, if required, to introduce new parents to community provision/universal services/Family Centre provision etc. The service should increase the resilience and emotional wellbeing of new mothers who are experiencing isolation and low level emotional wellbeing issues. This approach should provide a sustainable support network and in turn, contribute to a reduction in the need for more costly services for both parent or child further downstream. Sustainability, community support, use of an asset based community development approach, partnership working, self-reliance and reciprocity should be built into the service design and delivery. Where needed, support should also be provided or existing agencies/organisations contacted, to establish new groups and activities. Opportunities for recruiting, training, deploying and supporting volunteers should also be a key element of the delivery model. Please visit https://www.yortender.co.uk for more information.
