Description
The men's services will provide a combined, whole-person, individualised service to help service users: Build supportive relationships and social networks. This might include family relationships, friends, community groups and peer communities.  Connect to a range of community-based activities and resources that matter to them. This could include volunteering, sport or constructive leisure activities. Progress towards recovery from drug or alcohol use and gambling.    Achieve and maintain sustainable outcomes in relation to housing, employment and financial management.  These new combined services will replace the existing separate pathway services previously procured which cover Dependency & Recovery, Personal Wellbeing, Accommodation, Finance Benefit Debt and Education Training and Employment. Given the breadth of the services, the specialist skills and knowledge required, the need to support a diverse range of individual needs and characteristics and our desire to maintain a vibrant and healthy SME (Small Medium Enterprise), and VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise) Justice sector, we would like a range of organisations to be involved in service delivery through consortia or supply chains.
