Description

The aim is to create Social Welfare Alliance (SWA) to provide an ongoing training development pathway for all frontline workers and volunteers (FLWVs) who are regularly having conversations with residents who are presenting with a range of social welfare/poverty issues. FLWVs come from all sectors and include, for example, social prescribers, advisors on money and debt, family support workers, and volunteers.
This sort of platform and training doesn't not currently exist.

The SWA will create a range of advice, support and referral pathways for FLWVs. These pathways include but will not be limited to - housing and homelessness, money and debt, welfare rights, immigration issues, social mobility, employment and skills, mental health support, winter preparedness, long term food aid, early years and family support.
