Description

The service will engage with residents who are disconnected and unlikely to access mainstream services. Through a network of Community Connectors, the service will seek to address social isolation and promote active inclusion to improve mental health and wellbeing. The service will take a person-centred approach, based on individual need and is community centred; always striving to build community resilience. The Community Connectors will provide outreach and 1:1 support to individuals to encourage greater access to social groups and activities within the community and access to mainstream services.

Total Quantity or Scope

Wirral Council is looking for potential providers to help shape its vision for the future of Wirral community connector service. We would like to draw upon your experience and knowledge of the market and explore how we can improve health and wellbeing outcomes for residents through a range of different approaches. Interested providers are invited to a market engagement event. The event will provide the opportunity for potential providers to understand the scope, challenges and desired outcomes for the services, shape the proposals for service redesign, explore opportunities for innovation, develop new partnerships and consider service delivery models with other providers. Please refer to attachments for information of how to book onto the market engagement event. Please note that numbers are limited so places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
