Supporting People is a government initiative funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).
It enables vulnerable people to remain, or become, independent in the community, through the provision of housing related support services that are cost effective, complement existing care services and are accountable to service users and to local and central government.
Supporting People is about ‘preventative’ work - preventing people getting into problems and helping those that have problems to make sure they do not get worse or head backwards.
As a caring local authority, catering to the needs of our most vulnerable residents is a priority.
The priorities are reflected in many strategic and operational partner and council documents such as: the ‘All of Us’ strategy, Corporate Plan, Supporting People Five Year Strategy, Departmental Services Plans, and, equally importantly, the work we do everyday and wouldn’t necessarily categorise as 'Supporting People'.
For more information, please contact the Supporting People team using the details on the right.
Local Supporting People Directory of Services
The current service directory is under re-construction.
Please note however that if you are looking for a housing related support service for someone with a learning disability or for someone with enduring mental health problems you should approach the Community Team for People with Learning Disabilities or the Community Mental Health Team in the first instance as housing related support services for these client groups are provided directly through these teams.
