Decision details

As part of the transformation work in adult social care to create the conditions to enable people to live well in their communities for longer, this funding is targeted at working with VCFSE and Community provision within the local area with a focus on reducing unnecessary demand at the front door to adult social care.

The proposal will deliver services that support the following overarching key project outcomes:

1. To reduce contacts to Adult Social Care via investment into community assets that prevent and reduce need and demand that enable efficiencies that could be reinvested to support sustainability in the sector.

2. Build immediate VCFSE capacity to address areas of high demand for ASC.

3. Develop closer working relationships in order to have better connections between the County, District and the VCFSE provision.

4. Develop a collaborative and shared approach to early intervention and prevention, with the benefit of the residents, and targeted populations, being our primary focus. 5. To support residents in Lancashire to increase their independence, social inclusion, connection to their communities and have improved well-being.
