Community Based Care
Community Based Care
The Preventative Services Market Development Board Pilot was set up in 2013 by the CCG.
The aim and objective of the project is to encourage the development of community micro-enterprises capable of providing stable and on-going support to people in the community. The reason we need to do this is that demand for care services is increasing with hundreds of calls being received each week.
Often our Single Point of Access staff (256 256) are able to identify gaps in provision and capture these in order the board can attempt to identify and encourage community groups and entrepreneurs to develop a small organisation/enterprises capable of taking referrals and providing the service at an affordable rate.
The CCG has identified some resources that the board is able to use as one-off seed funding to support these groups to get off the ground. To understand more or to find out what kind of services are in demand, please contact our delivery partner CERT on 01469 572313 or visit us at the event at the Humber Royal.
